His son Mubariz al-Din Muhammad, who was only thirteen years old when his father died, lived at first at the Tl-Khan's court but then returned to Maibud after the death of Oljeitii. From here he succeeded after a few years in bringing down the atabeg of Yazd and himself taking possession of the city. 1 For the coup in Yazd, Mubariz al-Din had a helper in Amir Ghiyas al-Din Kai-Khusrau of the house of Tnju. This family, whose destiny is closely linked with that of the Muzaffarids, exercised control in Fars and in various centres of'Iraq-i 'Ajam from 703/1304, the beginning of the reign of the Tl-Khan Oljeitii, until their fall from power in 758/1357.

The armies met at Zava (13 Safar 743/18 July 1342), and the battle initially went in favour of the Sarbadars. But when Shaikh Hasan Jiirl fell, the fortunes of war changed, since the dervishes broke off the engagement, assuming - probably not without justification - that their shaikh had not died at the hands of the enemy but had been struck down by an assassin hired by Mas'ud.
