The Persian king asked King Humayun how he could lose his kingdom when he had such attentive and well-affected servants. Humayun answered that he lost his kingdom because he raised to greatness men who were ungrateful. After a little talk the sixth successor of the famous Taimur-i-lang took his leave and went to a palace, where the King of Persia sent the necessary supplies until the opportunity arose of aiding him to recover his kingdom. Sher Shah was such a just man, that after he had made himself master of the kingdom, he had compassion upon Humayun and sent him his wife, who had been left behind in Hindustan. At that time she was with child. Sher Shah sent him (Humayun) a letter, in which he swore by the Quran that her honour had in no way suffered, for she had done her husband no injury during their quarrel, not even in thought, adding that he was wrong to conceive such a shameful idea of his wife, a woman respected, well-behaved, and virtuous. When this letter reached Humayun, he decided to take back his wife and live with her ; after this he quitted Persia, as I shall tell hereafter. - [Previous: 59.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.59.2) - [Next: 59.4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.59.4) - [Up: 59](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.59) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.59.3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.59.3) · Pramāṇa
