Their orthodoxy was beyond question, but even the rigid Sunnī, Badāūnī, condemns the worldliness, avarice and duplicity of Makhdūm-ul-Mulk, but adds, with approval, “owing to his exertions many heretics and schismatics had gone to the places prepared for them”. Shaikh ‘Abdun-Nabī had put to death a Brāhman convicted of the offence of abusing the prophet of Islām, and had interpreted the marriage law with an exactitude which had given great offence to Akbar. - [Previous: v4.c16.34](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.burn-1937.v4.c16.34) - [Next: v4.c16.36](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.burn-1937.v4.c16.36) - [Up: v4.c16](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.burn-1937.v4.c16) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.burn-1937.v4.c16.35](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.burn-1937.v4.c16.35) · Pramāṇa
