164 W. Irvine—The Bangash Nawabs of Farrukhabad. [No. 2, 
five sons adopted the Shia heresy, and two of them were killed at the Far- 
rukhaébad Karbala during the Muharram ceremonies. They were named 
Ibrahim Khan and Rahman Khan (Rahmana). Another son was killed in a 
private quarrel at the door of Rahmat Khan Sawdérah-wald. The fourth 
died a natural death. The fifth, Aman Khan, was alive when Bahadur ’Ali 
wrote in 1839. 
Isl4m Khan is said to have been in twelve fights, and he had received 
many wounds. Every day he drank spirits, but in Farrukhabad in Muzaffar 
Janeg’s time that was thought no fault. If any friend asked him his sect 
he would say, “ Besides Allah, I know nothing, and my creed is this ‘ La- 
“ ¢1lah-illa-allah, Ahmad Khén rasil allah, for has he not made me from 
“a Hindu into a Muhammadan.” He wasso attached to intoxicating liquor 
that on the day he died, some hour or two before his death, he had a bot- 
tle of spirits and a cup beside him. He went on demanding spirits from 
his sons and drinking, One son said “ Khan Sahib, your death is now 
‘near, renounce wine,and God will forgive your sins.” He said to him, 
“‘ My son, why renounce it now, I never did so when I was well, bring me 
“the wine-cup and fill it to the brim.” He drank and shortly after expired. 
As an instance of his freedom of spirit, they relate that he was once sent as 
Kotwal to Mau, which he brought into thorough order. One day, however, 
a Pathan attacked him and cut him with a knife. Islam Khan came away 
at once and remarked to the Nawab that his sons-in-law, 7. e., the Pathans, 
were coming to take possession of his city and fort.
