Shihāb-ud-dīn, on hearing of his father’s death, returned to Mālwa and marched on Māndū, but Mahmūd II outstripped him and arrived there first, and when Shihāb-ud-dīn reached the city the gates were shut in his face. After attempting, without success, to persuade the governor of the city, Muhāfiz Khān, to admit him, he retired to the fortress of Asīr, in Khāndesh.
