37.2.5
He flayed Raipul Deo who had rebelled during the time which followed the death of Ram Deo; the country of the Mahattas also fell into the hands of Qutbu-d-Din who, having given Khusru Khan the canopy and staff of office, ordered him to proceed to Ma'bar, and having left Yaklakhi in Deogir as Naib, returned to Dihli. Near Badra-i Sakun, Malik Asadu-d-Din ibn Yaghrash Khan, who was called Malik Khamush, and who was the uncle's son of Sultan 'Alau-d-Din, was smitten with the ambition of chieftainship, and plotted a rebellion against the Sultan, who however was warned of this design by one of his loyal adherents and gave orders for the immediate execution of Malik Asadu-d-Din. He also sent orders that twenty of the relations of Yaghrash Khan who were aware of this conspiracy, some of whom were children, should be executed, and when he reached Jhain he sent Shadi Kath his chief captain to Gwaliur to bring the family and relations of the murdered Khizr Khan and Shadi Khan with the remainder of the haram of 'Alau-d-Din to Dihli, after having killed Sultan Shihabu-d-Din, which he carried out. Sultan Qutbu-d-Din was led by the fact that Khizr Khan had been a disciple of the Sultanu-l-Mashaikh Nizamu-d-Din Auliya, to regard that holy Shaikh with suspicion and distrust, and in opposition to the wishes of the holy saint sent for Shaikh Ruknu-d-Din from Multan, and honoured Shaikhzada-i-Jam, who was one of the opponents of Shaikh (Nizamu-d-Din) with special distinction.
