In 1514 Amīr 'Alī Barīd conferred on Jahāngīr Khān, the adopted son of Dastūr Dīnār, the title of Dastūr-ul-Mamālik, and established him as provincial governor of Gulbarga. In order to deter Ismā'īl 'Ādil Shāh from molesting him he obtained assistance from Sultān Qulī Qutb Shāh and Burhān Nizām Shāh, and invaded the kingdom of Bījāpur, carrying Mahmūd Shāh with him. Ismā'īl defeated the invaders, captured Mahmūd, who was wounded in the action, and his son Ahmad, and conciliated his captive by his courtesy and deference. He marched with him to Gulbarga, where Bībī Satī was delivered to her affianced husband, Prince Ahmad, and dispatched 5000 horse to escort Mahmūd to Bīdar. On the approach of this force Amīr 'Alī Barīd fled to Ausa, but, having obtained help from Burhān Nizām Shāh, returned to Bīdar, compelled the cavalry from Bījāpur to retire, and again resumed control of the king and what remained of his kingdom.
