The *Sīrat-i-Fīrūz Shāhī* (p. 269) says that Fīrūz Shāh received the letters patent in 754 A.H. from al-Mu‘taṣid-bi’llāh who conferred on the sultan the titles of *Saif-u’l-khilāfah* (the sword of the caliphate) and *Qasim-i-amīr-u’l-mu’minīn* (the co-parcener of the Commander of the Faithful). There is a formal deed of allegiance preserved in *Inshā-i-Māhrū* (Letter XII) which was probably drawn up when Fīrūz Shāh received the letters patent.
