No Arabic Wikipedia article on him exists, so the Arabic prose is the museum's own, written from the English and Urdu articles; his Arabic label follows the standard Arabic rendering of his name. Existence was checked by filename fragments under all spellings, by Arabic label and by the QID route; no earlier record exists (the wave-66 record khan-bahadur-khan-rohilla is a different man, his fellow rebel of 1857, and the Deoband-era Ahmadullahs are different men again).",
