However, Khorasan and Samarkand were lost, and Badakhshan became almost independent. In 1642 Imamkuli Khan handed over the throne to his brother Nadir-Muhammad (1642 - 1645) and died during the Hajj.
Amirs of Nadir-Muhammad organized a conspiracy and declared Khan his son Abd al-Aziz (1645 - 1681). Nadir Muhammad appealed for help to Baburid Shah Jahan, which led to a war with the Indians for Balkh.
