==Accepting Sikh faith==<br />
[[Bidar]] had been visited by [[Guru Nanak]] early in the sixteenth century and a Sikh shrine had been established there in his honour. '''Sahib Chand''', as Sahib Singh was called before he underwent the rites of the [[Khalsa]], travelled to [[Anandpur Sahib|Anandpur]] at the young age of 16, and attached himself permanently to [[Guru Gobind Singh]]. (Needs citation)<br />
<br />
He won a name for himself as marksman and in one of the battles at [[Anandpur Sahib|Anandpur]] he shot dead the Gujjar chief, Jamatulla. In another action the raja of Hindur, Bhup Chand, was seriously wounded by a shot from his muskets following which the entire hill army fled the field. Sahib Chand was one of the five Sikhs who, on the Baisakhi day of 30 March 1699, offered, upon [[Guru Gobind Singh]]'s call to lay down their heads. They were greeted by the Guru as the five beloved of him. These five formed the nucleus of the [[Khalsa]], the Guru's own, inaugurated dramatically that day. Sahib Chand, after undergoing the rites of the [[Khalsa]], became Sahib Singh, receiving the title of Singh common to all members of the [[Khalsa]].<br />
<br />
Bhai Sahib Singh fell in the battle of [[Chamkaur]] on 7 December 1705 with [[Bhai Himmat Singh]] and [[Bhai Mohkam Singh]].<br />
