The History of Fīrūz Shāh (ʿAfīf) 45: Ninth Mukaddama. — Khán-i Jahán sends supplies to the Sultán in Gujarát.

45

When Fíroz Sháh was about to march for Thatta, Khán-i Jahán made great efforts to send supplies, and gave orders to the officials urging them to exert themselves in the collection of supplies, munitions and money. The vast quantities collected exceed all description; seven lacs of tankas were expended upon only one kind of military weapon. These provisions were despatched from day to day, and they arrived in such vast quantities in Gujarát that it was difficult to provide carriage for them. Khán-i Jahán sent with them a letter [expressing his hope for the safety and success of the Sultán in his enterprize].
The Sultán gave orders for the march to Thatta, which was received with much joy by the army. * * Just at this time letters were received from Bahrám Khán, son-in-law of Hasan Khán Kángú from Daulatábád, representing that Bahrám Khán held Daulatábád, but that a dispute had arisen between him and the son of Hasan Kángú, he therefore solicited the Sultán to come himself and assume the seat of royalty. [After consultation the Sultán replied that he must first conquer Thatta; he would afterwards proceed to Daulatábád].
Postponing the affairs of Daulatábád to those of Thatta, he left Zafar Khan in charge of Gujarat. He had at first intended to place Malik Naib Barbak in charge, and the robes and titles had all been prepared; but the Sultan never transacted any business without referring to the Kuran for an augury, and now when he tried the fal (augury) it was against Naib Barbak, and in favour of Zafar Khan. The latter was accordingly sent for, and the robes of investiture, the estates and full powers were given to him. Such was the trust of Firoz Shah in the indications of the Divine will.
