He was one day hunting in the district of Antri, when certain Afghán nobles, who were ill-disposed towards him, laid an ambuscade on his road, with the intention of injuring him; but as his life was not destined to close so soon, he went back by another route, and was informed the same evening of the meditated treachery. He caused Baháu-d dín, Mahmúd, and Madaka, the chiefs of the conspirators, to be seized and punished. After this Islám Sháh became more mistrustful than ever of his nobles, and seized and imprisoned or put to death all those whom he chiefly suspected. One day he said to his wife Bíbí Bái, "I have cleared the road for your son, but your brother Mubáriz Khán is still a thorn in his way. If you wish for your son's life, say that you desire your brother to be put out of the way." Bíbí Bái answered, "My brother is a man who loves his pleasure and dissipation, and has always passed his life in looking after musical instruments, and listening to tunes; he has no head for government." Islám Sháh endeavoured with great skill and ability, by adducing strong proofs, and by beneficial advice, to induce her to be of his opinion; but this ignorant woman refused to consent to what Islám Sháh said, although it was all for her benefit. - [Previous: 11.4.7](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tarikh-i-daudi~en-elliot.11.4.7) - [Next: 11.5.1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tarikh-i-daudi~en-elliot.11.5.1) - [Up: 11.4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tarikh-i-daudi~en-elliot.11.4) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tarikh-i-daudi~en-elliot.11.4.8](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tarikh-i-daudi~en-elliot.11.4.8) · Pramāṇa
