v2.c13.s22.7

Abdullah Khan was remarkable for forbearance, patience, and extreme humanity. When Haidar Quli Khan was faujdar of Surat he confiscated the estate of Abdul-ghaffur Bohra, a wealthy merchant recently deceased, in spite of the existence of legal heirs. The line of action adopted by Abdullah Khan was most commendable. Haidar Quli Khan was removed from office and the estate made over to the rightful owners. Husain Ali Khan, within whose jurisdiction Surat was situated, passed a sleepless night thinking over the matter. Upon the release of the property not one dam or dirham was kept back. The younger Sayyid is also applauded for upholding the bazar people against a false complaint brought by his own elephant-driver. [K. K. 943.]
