He reached Aurangabad at the end of Zi-l ka'da. When intelligence of his arrival reached Haidarabad, Salabat Jang, third son of (the late) Asaf Jah, marched out with a great force to oppose his elder brother, Malhar Rao, being informed of these designs, and seeing that war between the two brothers was imminent, took the opportunity of asking for Khandesh and Khanpur, which were old dependencies of Aurangabad. He foresaw that the struggle with Salabat Jang would be severe, and he deemed it prudent to refrain from taking any part in it, because the officials of the Dakhin were in favour of the succession of Salabat Jang. No fighting had taken place between the rivals, when Amiru-l umara (Ghaziu-d din) died. His adherents, among whom was Muhammad Ibrahim Khan, uncle of the author of this work, carried his coffin to Dehli. They also carried with them his money and valuables, exceeding a kror of rupees in amount, and delivered them over to his son Shahabu-d din Muhammad Khan. This young man, whenever his late father was absent, had deemed it best for his interests to be constant in his attentions to Safdar Jang, and by this conduct he had gained the favour of that minister, who showed him great kindness. - [Previous: 2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.later.tarikh-i-muzaffari~en-elliot.2) - [Next: 3.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.later.tarikh-i-muzaffari~en-elliot.3.2) - [Up: 3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.later.tarikh-i-muzaffari~en-elliot.3) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.later.tarikh-i-muzaffari~en-elliot.3.1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.later.tarikh-i-muzaffari~en-elliot.3.1) · Pramāṇa
