	At the behest of Akbar, Abbas compiled, in 1582, ''Tufah-yi Akbar Shahi'', better known as, ''Ta'rikh-i Sher Shahi'', a biography of Shah Sur. The ''Ta'rikh-i Sher Shahi'' was compiled after the fall of the [[Sur Empire\|Sur dynasty]] with the preconceived notion of enhancing the Pashtun dynasty when facts were lacking. Abbas' work is not a first hand source, but a combination of sources from Sarwani nobles that served with the [[Lodi dynasty\|Lodi]] and Sur dynasties.<ref>''Abbas Sarwani'', I.H.
