Muhammad Shaybani
News came from Nasir Mirza via Mullah Mirak Ferketi about the Uzbek siege of Kandahar. Muhammad Shaybani had abandoned the siege even after having taken the walled town of Kandahar but without having taken the citadel. Still, Nasir Mirza had abandoned Kandahar on several accounts and retired to Ghazni. The reason for the Uzbek retreat was that when Muhammad Shaybani came against Kandahar he had sent his Harem to Nirehtu, a fort east of Herat. Some persons having revolted in Nirehtu had seized the fort. Muhammad Shaybani hurriedly patched up a sort of peace and retired.
