Which one of the following statements about the Ain-i-Akbari is not correct?

The Ain-i-Akbari was written by Abu'l Fazl, the court historian of Emperor Akbar [2]. It serves as the third volume of the larger historical project known as the Akbarnama [3]. The work is celebrated for its detailed description of the Mughal Empire's administration, geography, and culture, portraying a society with a diverse population and composite traditions [3]. While the text underwent five revisions during its compilation to ensure accuracy, these revisions were completed by 1598 under Akbar's own reign and supervision [2]. The claim that it was later revised by Sadullah Khan on the orders of Shah Jahan is incorrect; Sadullah Khan was indeed a wazir under Shah Jahan, but he is associated with the revision of the 'Char Chaman' or works like the 'Padshahnama' rather than the Ain-i-Akbari, which remained the definitive record of Akbar's 'Ain' (regulations).
