Its not the first time Afghans have fought Turks or Turkic peoples.  Afghans did fight against the Mongols, the Moghuls, the Karakhanids under Mahmud Ghaznavi.

 think it was pretty much between Nadir and Afghans, rather than ottomans, coze those times actually Nadir was the leader of Iran, As well as Azerbaijan

There was an Afghan general who ruled Azerbaijan too after Nadir Afshari's demise.

Yeah, Afghans were present in that war against the Ottomans under the Afshari.
 
They used Afghan jezail rifle shooters and Cameleers with big guns, ,both of which were essential to his army.  And ofcourse, he had Afghan generals in his army.

Well ı found the information at least:
 
It was fought at a place named Andijn (probably not the same place at Ferghna). The Ottoman commander was Ahmed Pasha while the Iranian Afghan army was commanded by Ashraf Khn.

The battle lasted for two days. The Ottomans had more advantages at the beginning and it looked as if the Afghans were going to lose. But Ashraf Khn sent secret messengers to clan troops inside the Ottoman army, telling them that if they switched sides, he would give them independent states to every clan. In the second day of the battle, the clan warriors of the Ottoman army switched sides, joining the Afghan army. The Ottoman army was defeated soon, withdrawing to Hamadn while leaving it's heavy cannons behind.
 
But the numbers you guys said are untrueWink.

sorry but since 1639 Kasr-i Şirin iranian border changed just slightly it is almost the same from that time may be it wasn't big enough to change the borders of ottoman. i don't think that we know only the victories of ottoman or the turks.we are governed really bad for the last 3 centuries by ottoman that's why we had also great defeats but i have never heard of it.Is this battle have a name?

Afghanan, after NAdir there was not any single person who ruled Iran, which was divided to more than 40 small provinces on their own. But there were some Iran Afghan wars, not Ottoman Afghan wars. In times of Turkish Saffavids (before Abbas 1st) you may count them as Ottomans.
