v1.c6.s3.8
† The accusation of heterodoxy seems to have had some truth in it. Khush-hal Chand (366b) attributes the change to the influence of one Mhd. Amin Khan, the Prince's librarian. [Probably identical with the Mir Mhd. Amin (Sharf Khan) a learned man and confidant of Azam, killed at Jajau. 'i-i-Mhdi.] Half his army was made up of Shiahs. Mirza Muhammad (39a) says, "Azam Shah was suspected of being a Shiah. For this cause men of Mawar-al-nahr, nay all the Sunnis, objected to his succession, although he had Jurat and Khalk-i-adalat on which sovereignty is founded."
