Sardar Jahan Khan came to the camp of Najib with 8,000 horsemen by fast marches [1767] and... Najib immediately sent Zabita Khan to accompany him against the Sikhs. The sardar said to Zabita Khan, "Your head and body appear to be very soft; you have been constantly used to sitting in palkis and carpets. How will you be able to keep up with us? ... Why do you take an elephant with you?" [Nur-ud-din, 111*b*.]
