“When Sharafuddīn Ḥusain fled from Court to Nagor, he had a slave, by name Kukah Fūlād, one of the slaves of his father, who at all times secretly did everything in his power to injure the Emperor. This wretched man came into the royal camp and was constantly on the watch for an opportunity. When the Emperor returned from his hunting excursion, and passing through the bazar of Delhi came near the Madrasah of Māham Anaga, this bloodthirsty fellow shot an arrow at His Majesty, but by the mercy of God, who watched over the Emperor’s safety, it did not inflict a severe wound, but merely grazed the skin. The attendants of the Emperor instantly fell upon the traitor, and with strokes of sword and dagger, sent him to hell.”¹
