Ansari (Panipat)

the Panipat Ansaris, or Helpers of the Prophet, who trace their descent from Khwaja Abdula Pirof Hirat, one of whose children, Khwaja Malak, in the reign of Sultan Alaudin Musud, the grandson of Abdullah Ansari, migrated to Dehli, and finally fixed his abode at Panipat.

[4][5] The Urdu poet and writer, Altaf Hussain Hali, was born in Panipat as a descendant of the Ansaris.

[12] Lutfullah Khan enjoyed the confidence of Farrukhsiyar through flattery, but worked hand in glove with the Sayyid brothers.

[13] The Syed brothers considered him to be a source of mischief and deprived him of his rank, and his gardens and mansions were confiscated.

[19] Sher Afgan Khan of Panipat was the governor of Multan in the reign of Muhammad Shah.

[20] His son was married to the daughter of the Mughal Grand vizier Turrah Baz Khan,[21] another native of Panipat.
