The History of Shēr Shāh (Tārīkh-i Shērshāhī) 3.4.2

3.4.2

When Míán Hasan's relations heard that he had taken away the management of the two parganas from Farid, and was intending to confer it on Sulaiman and Ahmad, and that Farid was preparing to go to Ágra to gain his livelihood (for in those days Agra was the capital city), they came to Mian Hasan, and said : — "It is not right for you to take away the management of the parganas from this son, and give it to Sulaiman and Ahmad; for Farid, by his care, has doubled their prosperity, and has so established his authority in them, as no one ever before did, nor has he committed any fault for which he ought to be removed. It is not right to quarrel with such an able son in your old age; especially in these times, when the authority of Sultán Ibráhím is shaken, and every Afghan of influence is aiming at power and independence."
