Shahzada Muhammad Muhi us-Sunnat Mirza (Persian: شاهزاده محمد محی وسنت میرزا) was the eldest surviving son of Mughal prince Muhammad Kam Bakhsh, himself the youngest son of emperor Aurangzeb.
He was imprisoned in the palace-prison of Salimgarh Fort after his father's defeat to his brother, emperor Bahadur Shah I, in the Mughal war of succession in 1709. He remained imprisoned until his death on 29 January 1747, during the reign of emperor Muhammad Shah.[citation needed]
His only son Prince Muhi ul-Millat was raised the throne in December 1759 as Shah Jahan III by the Grand Vizier Imad-ul-Mulk and the Marathas, but was deposed the following year after their defeat at the Battle of Panipat.[2]
