Akbar reached Fathpur Sīkrī, on his return from Kābul, on 1 December, 1581. At the intercession of his mother and his foster-brother, Khān A‘zam, he granted a free pardon to Ma‘sūm Khān Farankhudī, even though he had once again risen in rebellion during his absence in Kābul, but the pardon was nothing more than a formal expression of respect for the mediators, for a few months after it was granted Ma‘sūm Khān was assassinated while returning from court at midnight.
