He was a general of the army of Aurangzeb. In August 1695, he sent an army of 2000 soldiers, headed by his son Rustam Khan, to attack Aanandpur Sahib. When the army of Rustam Khan reached near Aanandpur Sahib, the rivulet was in flood. [Later, the Sikhs gave the rivulet nickname Himaiti (the supporter)]. Due to flood, the Mogul army had to halt for some time. In the meanwhile Bhai Aalam Chand Nachanna organised the Sikhs who began raising war-cries. The echo of the war-cries and the beat of Nagara (drum) in the stillness of the hills frightened Rustam Khan and he fled without a battle. Dilawar Khan, then sent his general Hussain Khan and a Rajput Jujhar Sinh Hada to attack Aanandpur Sahib. They too were defeated by the Sikhs.
