This raised the ire of the Shaikh-ul-Islam of Marw, Shams-ud-Din, Harisi, who began intriguing against him with a relative, the Kazi of Sarahs—which place the Mughals had obtained possession of, and left an Intendant at—in order, even at the cost of giving up Marw to the Mughals, to bring about the Majir-ul-Mulk’s downfall. Some informers brought this to the latter’s notice, and he accused the Shaikh-ul-Islam, who stoutly denied the charge. At last, a letter, in his own hand-writing, to the Kazi of Sarakhs, in reply to one of his own, the bearer having been intercepted by the way—some say, a letter of the Kazi to him—fell into the Majir-ul-Mulk’s hands, who at once requested the Shaikh-ul-Islam to visit him. On his arrival, he said: “What news hast thou from Sarakhs? and what are its people doing?” The Shaikh replied: “I have no cognizance of their affairs, and have no information respecting them.” The Majir-ul-Mulk threw his own letter towards him, saying, “There, read that!” and, seeing his own letter, he was utterly confounded. - [Previous: 263.1.5](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tabaqat-i-nasiri~en-raverty.263.1.5) - [Next: 263.1.7](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tabaqat-i-nasiri~en-raverty.263.1.7) - [Up: 263.1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tabaqat-i-nasiri~en-raverty.263.1) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tabaqat-i-nasiri~en-raverty.263.1.6](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tabaqat-i-nasiri~en-raverty.263.1.6) · Pramāṇa
