The enthronement of Fath Shāh was a blow to the Sayyids, but within the next few years the chiefs of the popular party quarrelled among themselves, and in 1497 Muhammad Shāh, now about sixteen years of age, was restored by Ibrāhīm Mākarī, whom he made his minister, designating Iskandar Khān, the elder son of Fath Shāh, as his heir; but in 1498 Fath Shāh regained the throne, only to be expelled again in 1499, when he escaped to the plains of India, where he died.
