After that he quitted Arabia and went to Hindia, where he took up his abode at Haider-abad, in Decan ; where in time he became the King's son-in-law, as we have already mentioned. This Prince, observing abilities and talents in him, gave him the management of several parts of the administration, and raised him to high dignities and employments. Some years after, there came another illustrious Seyd, from Arabia, a Seyd Soltan, a learned man, who had studied under the former Seyd's father, the learned and venerable Seyd Ahmed. King Cootoob-shah took this Seyd also in favour, raised him to dignities and honours, and betrothed his second daughter to him ; and he seemed to take a pleasure in producing him to the world. Unfortunately a jealousy arose between the two Seyds ; that is, between Seyd Nizam-eddin-ahmed, who was already become the King's son-in-law, and Seyd Soltan, who was designed into the King's Palace. - [Previous: 42.24.4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.later.siyar-al-mutaakhkhirin~en-mustafa.42.24.4) - [Next: 42.24.6](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.later.siyar-al-mutaakhkhirin~en-mustafa.42.24.6) - [Up: 42.24](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.later.siyar-al-mutaakhkhirin~en-mustafa.42.24) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.later.siyar-al-mutaakhkhirin~en-mustafa.42.24.5](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.later.siyar-al-mutaakhkhirin~en-mustafa.42.24.5) · Pramāṇa
