Haiyat Khan, Labor, Kohinur Press, Sept. 18G5, pp. 154, 155—158 and 
“ Tlrikh-i-Farishta,” Lucknow edition, Yol. I, p. 266). For want of fur¬ 
ther authorities to refer to, Manzur Ahmad was unable to identify Rashid 
Khan, founder of Mau, with Rashid Khan, son of the historical Jalala. 
From the “ Maasir-ul-Umra,” however, it is made quite clear that the two 
men are the same (see in that work under “ Rashid Khan”). I proceed to 
give an abstract of the Biography from the “ Maasir-ul-Umra” adding 
from the articles “ Allahdad Khan,” “ Asadullah,” “ Hadidad Khan” and 
“Rashid Khan” in Ivewal Ram Agarwalah’s “ Tazkira-ul-Umra.” 
The founder of the Roshani sect, called in derision the Tariki or the ob¬ 
scure,* * * § was Shekh Bayazid who was descended in the seventh generation from 
Siraj-ud-din Ansari, and was horn at Jalandhar one year before Babar entered 
India (i. e., in 1527). On growing up he left his birth-place with his mother 
and went to his father ’Abdullah at Kali Kurm in the hills of Roh. In 
the year 949 H. (April 1542—April 1543), he became notorious by pre¬ 
tending to do miracles, through which he induced many tribes of the Af¬ 
ghans to become his disciples. At this time he wrote a book in Pushtu 
called “ Khair-ul-bayan.” They say that when it was brought to the Court 
of Mirza Muhammad Hakim, ruler of Kabul, the learned men there were 
unable to refute it. When Pir Rosh&n died he was buried at Tahyapur (?) 
in the hills. He left four sons and one daughter. The sons are (1) Shekh 
’Umr, (2) Nur-ud-din, whose son Mirza Khan entered the Imperial service 
and was killed in the Daulatabad campaign in the Dakhin (most probably 
in February 1633),f (3) Jamal-ud-din, (4) Jalal-ud-din. 
Jalal-ud-din in the year 989 H. (Feb. 1581—Jan. 1582), being then 
fourteen years of age, attended Akbar when that Emperor was on his return 
from Kabul. He was graciously received, but for some reason being dis¬ 
satisfied he returned to his father’s disciples among the Warakzais and Afridis, 
to whom he was also related. In the 31st year of Akbar’s reign (2nd April 
1585—22nd March 1586), the Mahmand and Gharba, who lived round Pasha- 
war and could muster ten thousand horse, were aroused by the oppressions of 
the subordinates of Sayyad Hamid Bukhari^ practised on the Tayuldars of 
that neighbourhood. They placed Jalala (Jalal-ud-din) at their head, attacked 
and slew Sayyad Hamid and then made Terah their stronghold. Rajah Man 
Singh§ Nazim of Kabul advanced on Terah and dispersed the Afridis. He 
then went to ’Ali Masjid and inflicted considerable punishment on Jalala.
