This document, which, when approved by Akbar, became an imperial decree, was signed by Makhdūm-ul-Mulk, Shaikh 'Abd-un-Nabī, Jalāl-ud-dīn the chief *Qāzī*, Sultān Khvāja the *Sadr*, the learned Ghāzī Khān of Badakhshān, and Shaikh Mubārak. Badāūnī says that all signed it unwillingly, without specifying the nature of the pressure brought to bear on them, except Shaikh Mubārak, who added after his signature, "This is an affair which I desired with all my heart and soul, and for the accomplishment of which I have been waiting for years".
