43.1.6
And in the year 742 A.H. (1341 A.D.) Saiyyid Hasan Kaithali the father of Malik Ibrahim, a feoffee of the Sultan, who was generally known as Hasan Kangu, and who eventually obtained the sovereignty of the Deccan with the title of ‘Alau-d-Din Bahman Shah, fermented a revolt in Ma‘bar on the grounds of the severity of the Sultan's governors, and the innovations introduced in the laws, and the number of executions, and gained over to his own party nearly all the great men of Dihli who had been appointed to that district. He put to death the leaders of the opposite party. The Sultan proceeded from Lakhnauti to Deogir for the purpose of quelling that disturbance, and on his arrival at Tilang was taken ill, and was forced to return by uninterrupted marches to Dihli. He left Qutlugh Khan in Daulatabad; thus the rebellion in Ma‘bar remained unchecked and Hasan’s influence increased rapidly. And in the year 743 (1342 A.D.) they put to death by treachery Malik Halajun and Kul Chandar Khakhar and Malik Tatar Khani, the Governor of Lahore, and when Khwaja-i Jahan came up against them, they came out to do battle with him, but the scoundrels suffered a severe defeat and were sorely punished.
