Saiyid Hamid Bukhari, formerly one of the nobles of the Sultans of Gujarat, had been received into the Imperial service, and was sent to Peshawar for the repression of the Roshanai sectaries. They had assembled about 20,000 foot and 6000 horse to attack him. He, and a few men who were with him at the time, fought and perished. The Emperor sent Zain Khan Koka and * * with a large force to subdue these heretics, who occupied the Khaibar Pass, and closed the road between Kabul and Hindustan. Kunwar Man Singh marched from Kabul, and attacked and defeated them in the Khaibar, and put a great many of them to the sword. He then occupied Jamrud, and left a detachment in the Khaibar. Mirza Sulaiman, having returned from his pilgrimage to Mecca, once more tried his fortune in Badakhshan; but he was unable to contend against 'Abdu-lla Khan Uzbek, and fled to Kabul. From thence he went to Hindustan, and was received by the Emperor in the month of Rabi'u-l awwal, 995 H.
