The mother of Sulaiman said, "I hope much from your love, but your relatives will not permit you to take away the management of the parganas from Farid." Mian Hasan, who was entangled in the noose of her love, swore a solemn oath to her and appeased her. After this Mían Hasan sought to discover some fault in Farid, and to remove him, and employed himself in examining his actions. Excessive aversion was kindled and angry words passed between Míán Hasan and Farid. When Faríd discovered that Míán Hasan had promised the mother of Sulaimán that he would give the management of both parganas to her sons, and had violated the promise which he had given to his kinsmen, Farid threw up the management of them, and sent to Mian Hasan, saying, "So long as I saw my father's affections and kindness turned towards me, I carried on the business of the parganas—now make anybody manager you like. Certain persons from envy and enmity have conveyed to your hearing reports which have grieved you. My father, inquire into them, as I shall show you how." \* \* \* - [Previous: 3.3.7](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tarikh-i-shershahi~en-elliot.3.3.7) - [Next: 3.4.1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tarikh-i-shershahi~en-elliot.3.4.1) - [Up: 3.3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tarikh-i-shershahi~en-elliot.3.3) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tarikh-i-shershahi~en-elliot.3.3.8](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tarikh-i-shershahi~en-elliot.3.3.8) · Pramāṇa
