;Dilawar Khan in the reign of the Later Tughluqs (1391/92 - 1401/02)<ref>Tarikh-i-Muhammadi, and conclusions derived from U.N. DAY, Medieval Malwa.</ref>

Dilawar Khan was the follower of Firuz Shah Tughluq's son, Muhammad ibn Firuz, later known as Muhammad Shah.<ref>Muhammad Bihamad Khani, Tarikh-i-Muhammadi, translated portions by Zaki Khan, CAS, Aligarh</ref> He was imprisoned by the court officials at Delhi for his support for the rebel prince. Not only Dilawar Khan, but many important provincial governors, such as that of Gujarat, and various other important and powerful nobles of the court supported the Prince' claim to the throne. After [[Timur]]'s invasion in 1398, the same prince, who was the then Sultan of Delhi, ran away from the capital and sought shelter, first in the Gujarat Sultanate, but receiving a less than enthusiastic response there, moved to the Malwa Sultanate. Dilawar Khan is said to have welcomed him with open arms and told him that his Sultanate and treasure was all for the service of the Delhi Sultan.<ref> Day, Medieval Malwa.</ref>
