He had such a high idea of himself that he supposed his valour could conquer everybody. From this cause he despised his opponents, and was at times negligent in important things. He was the first to revolt against his father, as I shall tell hereafter (I. 166). Some assert that he followed the sect of Aly ('Ali), venerated by the Persians as a prophet; whereas in the Mogul realm, Balq (Balkh), Bocara (Bukhara), Badacxam (Badakhshan), Samarcand (Samarqand), and Cascar (Kashghar), they do not recognise 'Ali as a prophet, but follow the religion of Turkey and Arabia. - [Previous: 65.11.6](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.65.11.6) - [Next: 65.11.8](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.65.11.8) - [Up: 65.11](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.65.11) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.65.11.7](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.65.11.7) · Pramāṇa
