Translation. 
The prophet (may the blessing and mercy of God be upon him) 
has said, ‘ Whoever builds a mosque for God, God builds for him 70 
palaces in paradise.’ This mosque was built in the reign of Yusuf 
Shah Sultan, son of Barbak Shall Sultan, son of Mahmud Shah by the 
illustrious Khan Mirsad Khan on the 18th Ramazan 885 A. H. 
Behind the dome of the Qadam Rasul mosque, at the west side, 
there is a building of which the roof and some of the walls have fallen 
down. Inside are some masonry tombs in a ruined state. It is probable 
that these are the tombs of princes, or of high officers of Husain Shah 
and Nasrat Shah. West of the Qadam Rasul there is a tank which is 
perhaps a remain of Sultan Jalalu»d-din. Certainly it is known by the 
name of the Jalali tank. 1 
The Tomb of Fath Khan. 
This is outside of (the enclosure of the Qadam Rasul inside of a 
building which has been much destroyed, and has no inscription. They 
say that when Aurangzeb ‘Alamgir, the king of Delhi, suspected Shah 
Ni‘matu-llah of having instigated his pupil Sultan Shnja 4 to go to 
war, he deputed one of his soldiers, Diler Khan, a man who used to 
fight with a raging elephant, to cut off the saint’s head, although in 
fact the latter had never advised Sultan Shuja 4 to go to war, but on the 
contrary had several times advised him against doing so. When Diler 
Khan with his two sons arrived in Gaur, one of the latter, whose name 
was Fath Khan, spat blood two or three times, and then gave up the 
ghost. The sorrowing father buried the body .and prostrated himself 
before the saint. The event was reported to Aurangzeb, who after that 
placed confidence in the saint. 
1 The Riyaz, p. 116, mentions the JaTall faith as one of Jalalu-d-dm’s works.
