The new Prince, with a petulance that became his character of ignorance and profligacy, instead of continuing to use with distinction so worthy a man, offered him indignities ; he ordered him to quit the apartment where he lived in the palace, and this too without allowing him a moment's respite. The poor man confounded at the suddenness of the order, was at a loss how to account for it, and how to dispose of himself at so short a notice ; when he was succoured by Providence. Hassen-reza-qhan, son to one of Hadji-ahmed's daughters, hearing of that worthy man's being turned into the street, ran on foot to the spot ; and although not certain himself of his own fate, which his attachment to Nevazish-mahmed-qhan had rendered doubtful, and Seradj-ed-doula's levity and profligacy, precarious, he engaged the worthy man to take shelter in his own house ; and a few days after, he made him present of a dwelling and a spot of ground attaining to his own, where he took up his abode, and where he lives to this day ; it is on the water side. - [Previous: 18.4.6](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.later.siyar-al-mutaakhkhirin~en-mustafa.18.4.6) - [Next: 18.4.8](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.later.siyar-al-mutaakhkhirin~en-mustafa.18.4.8) - [Up: 18.4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.later.siyar-al-mutaakhkhirin~en-mustafa.18.4) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.later.siyar-al-mutaakhkhirin~en-mustafa.18.4.7](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.later.siyar-al-mutaakhkhirin~en-mustafa.18.4.7) · Pramāṇa
