Storia do Mogor 150: Mahabat Khan returns to Kabul.

150

Upon the receipt of the above news at court, Aurangzeb ordered Mahabat Khan to go once more in all haste to take charge of Kabul; nor would he accede to the petition of Muhammad Amin Khan, who offered, if not superseded, to undertake himself the charges of the war against the Pathans, and wreak vengeance for the previous affront. When [156] Mahabat Khan came the Pathans allowed him to pass, for he was a prudent man, who kept up a friendship with them. Thus Muhammad Amin Khan, on his way to his government of Gujarat, passed through Lahor, and he then confessed before everyone that truth was on my side. Thus did he restore to me the honour of which he had robbed me by a false accusation.
He went on to his government in Gujarat. After he had arrived there, on the day that he had to attend at the mosque, he gave an order to the door-keepers not to allow the common people to enter during the time of his prayers. For this reason, when he came out of the mosque the people rose against him with shouts, and stones, and shoes, so that he was obliged to hide in a neighbouring house. He wrote about this insult to the king, hoping that he would send him troops, or would give him an order to chastise the people. But Aurangzeb replied that it was God's punishment for his hauteur; he was astonished at his promptness in complaining, whereas it would be better to amend his own ways, and not be so high and mighty. From vexation he ended his life in a little time.
