Nadir Shah Afshar's capture of Samarkand, one of the political and economic centers of the region, during his Central Asian campaign.

According to legend, Nader Shah brought the double doors of the Bibi-Khanym Mosque made of gold, silver, precious stones, jewelry and other precious metals, located in Samarkand, as well as a number of architects, artists, and scientists, to the center of the Afshar Empire.

At this time, Nader was on the Indian campaign, and his successor, Prince Reza Qoli Mirza Afshar, had managed to win several brilliant victories over the states of Central Asia.

As a result of this campaign, a victory was won over Central Asia that almost none of the states which existed in the region, including the Safavids, could achieve.

From the camp on the shore of Amu Darya, Nader Shah sent an army of eight thousand people to Reza Qoli Mirza to capture the city of Charjo.

Another commander, Ali Qoli Khan, was instructed to advance towards the cities located in the east of the river and capture unsubordinated places.

Despite all the existing tension, Nader Shah managed to direct the main strike force of his troops to the positions where Abulfaz Khan was standing.

After hearing the news brought by Doctor Ataliq, Abulfaz Khan also sent valuable gifts to Nader Shah.

In order not to endanger the population of Bukhara, Nader Shah entrusted the issue of supplying the troops to Hakim Ataliq.

Nader Shah entered Samarkand almost unopposed, and from there prepared to march on Ilbars Khan, who was still a threat to his state.

According to legend, Nader Shah brought the double doors of the Bibi-Khanym Mosque made of gold, silver, precious stones, jewelry and other precious metals, located in Samarkand, as well as a number of architects, artists, and scientists, to the center of the Afshar Empire.
