The Mughul nobles, both of the Turanian and of the Iranian factions, were now weary of domination by the Sayyids and Muhammad Amīn Khān, the leader of the former, who occasionally spoke Turkī to the emperor, having ascertained his resentment of their actions, formed a conspiracy to remove Husain ‘Alī. Among the conspirators was Mīr Muhammad Amīn, a Sayyid of Nīshāpur who had lately received the title of Sa‘ādat Khān and had also as a Sayyid and a Shiah, been a client and favourite of Husain ‘Alī. The assassin, Mīr Haidar Beg, another Sayyid, was found by Muhammad Amīn Khān from his own contingent.
