Now Makhdum 'Alam had not assisted Kutb Khan, and as this misfortune had befallen the latter, the King of Bengal sent an army against Makhdum 'Alam. I, who am the author of the Tuhfa-i Akbar Shahi, reckon among my ancestors 'Abbas Khan. Very many sons of 'Abbas Khan were in Sher Khan's service; (of these) he gave to Mian Hasnu the title of Darya Khan. Among the Khan's nobles, none were equal to him, and he had married Sher Khan's own sister. This Darya Khan died in the beginning of Sher Shah's reign. My object in this detail is as follows : Since a connexion exists between Sher Shah and myself, I am thus better acquainted with his history, which I have learnt from my ancestors. To be brief, Sher Khan was prevented by the hostility of the Lohanis from assisting in person Makhdum 'Alam, but he sent Mian Hasnu Khan to his assistance. Makhdum 'Alam made over all his property and worldly possessions to Sher Khan, saying, "If I am victorious, I will reclaim my property; if not, better you should have it than any other." Makhdum 'Alam was killed in battle, but Mian Hasnu Khan returned alive, and Makhdum 'Alam's property fell to Sher Khan. - [Previous: 3.7.3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tarikh-i-shershahi~en-elliot.3.7.3) - [Next: 3.7.5](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tarikh-i-shershahi~en-elliot.3.7.5) - [Up: 3.7](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tarikh-i-shershahi~en-elliot.3.7) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tarikh-i-shershahi~en-elliot.3.7.4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tarikh-i-shershahi~en-elliot.3.7.4) · Pramāṇa
