On May 3, 1494, during the expedition against Bahādur, a son, named Ahmad, had been born to the king, and in 1498 a marriage was arranged between the child and Bībī Satī, daughter of Yūsuf ‘Ādil Shāh. Qāsim Barīd and the king, Yūsuf, Khvāja Jahān of Parenda, and Sultān Qulī Qutb-ul-Mulk assembled at Gulbarga to celebrate the betrothal. During the festivities a serious quarrel broke out between Dastūr Dīnār and Yūsuf, who claimed suzerainty over him. The support given to Dastūr Dīnār by Qāsim Barīd bred another quarrel between him and Yūsuf, Sultān Qulī supported Yūsuf, and the strife became general. Qāsim Barīd, Dastūr Dīnār, and Khvāja Jahān fled to Aland and were pursued by Yūsuf, who defeated them at Gunjotī, drove Qāsim Barīd to Ausa and Khvāja Jahān to Parenda, and assumed that control of the king of which he had deprived Qāsim, but, having obtained from him such grants and dignities as he required, permitted him to depart for Bīdar, whither Qāsim Barīd immediately returned and resumed his former position.
