A Mughal emperor saw a dream in which he embraced Safavid Shah Abbas, and commisioned famous Mughal artist Abul Hasan to draw a painting of this dream. Who was that emperor?

Jahangir

The correct answer is Option (2) → Jahangir

Jahangir’s dream:

An inscription on this miniature records that Jahangir commissioned Abu’l Hasan to render in painting a dream the emperor had had recently. Abu’l Hasan painted this scene portraying the two rulers – Jahangir and the Safavid Shah Abbas – in friendly embrace. Both kings are depicted in their traditional costumes. The figure of the Shah is based upon portraits made by Bishandas who accompanied the Mughal embassy to Iran in 1613. This gave a sense of authenticity to a scene which is fictional, as the two rulers had never met.
