Nabiii,
It was not about a will of Akbar. Daniyal, due to his brave stature, other qualities, military operations, tolerant and secular nature was considered the best to become the next Emperor, also he was initially brought up by the wife of Raja Bharmal and had a great backing of the Rajputs, the spine of Mughal empire. But he took to drinking in Deccan, after 1601. Akbar was 'broken beyond repair' at his death in 1604. In a short span, Akbar lost Daniyal, Hamida Bano Begum, and Gulbadan Begum. Murad had already died in 1599.
Also, Salim and Man Bai's son, Khusrau was considered a capable successor of Akbar. He had a ''GREAT GREAT'' support of the masses of Agra, and was close to Akbar too, due to his vibrant and over-all fine qualities, was a favorite of many people in the Mughal Court as well. It is said for him - 'His mere presence in the court was enough to spread positive vibes, and he had a rare ability to convert the adversities into his favor -- the quality which Akbar associated with himself'. He had a strong backing of Khan-i-Khanan Abdul Rahim, Farjand-e-Akbar Raja Man Singh, and Khan-e-Azam Mirza Aziz Koka. After his death, in the custody of Shah Jahan/Khurram, his body was first brought to Agra, later buried in Khusrau Bagh, in Allahabad. He was hailed a martyr, even equated to a saint by the masses, far and wide.!!!. Despite the fact that he remained in captivity for almost 15 years, his charm among the masses did not decrease. Even a shrine was constructed in Agra, by the people, who came from far off places to pay their respects to him after his death, the shrine was destroyed later.
