Editing Ahmad Shah Durrani (section)

===Death of Nader Shah===
In June 1747, Nader Shah was convinced that his [[royal guard|personal guard]] intended to [[assassinate]] him. As a result, he summoned Ahmad Shah and other loyal commanders. Nader Shah ordered Ahmad Shah to assemble his [[Durrani]] regiments, and to arrest his personal guard. If the personal guard resisted, Ahmad Shah was given permission to kill them all. He was ordered to do this at first light. Nader Shah then chose to sleep with his favorite wife, but did so outside the royal tent, where the same guards he accused of treachery presumed [[Patrol|night duty]], while Ahmad Shah with his regiments were established at the defenses of the camp.{{sfn|Lee|2022|p=102}}

News of Nader Shah's plan leaked, with the conspirators being forced to act. Four conspirators entered the royal enclosure and entered Nader Shah's tent at [[Quchan]], assassinating him.{{sfn|Lee|2022|p=102-103}}{{sfn|Singh|1959|p=21-22}} Chaos ensued afterward, and plans to coverup the killing by the conspirators failed. They resorted to pillaging the royal enclosure while news of Nader Shah's death rapidly spread. The next morning, the royal guard attacked Ahmad Shah's forces, who despite being heavily outnumbered, drove the Persians and [[Qizilbash]] off. Ahmad Shah then entered the tent of Nader Shah, taking the [[Koh-i-Noor]] diamond and a signet ring from his body.{{sfn|Lee|2022|p=103}}{{sfn|Nejatie|2017|p=305-306}}
