The Chibb or Chibh Rajput or Chib Rajas(Hindi: चिब, Urdu: چب) are a clan of Punjab in India and Pakistan. Chibb or Chibh are found among Hindus as well as Muslims . Chib tribes generally reside in Kharian, Sarai Alamgir, Bhimber, and Azad Kashmir.

A section of Chibs were converted to Islam durying the reign of Aurengzeb .

“

The first of the tribe to become a Muhammadan was one Sur Sadi , which died a violent death in Aurangzeb s reign . He is still venerated as a martyr , and the Muhammadan Chib offer the scalp locks of their male children at his tomb , till which ceremony the child is not considered a true Chibh , nor is his mother allowed to eat meat[1]

”

Baba Shadi Shaheed (Raja Chib chand) (real name Raja Shadab Khan) was a Sufi Saint. Shaheed is thought to be the first Chib Rajput convert to Islam during the reign of Ibrahim Lodhi. He was a famed wise man who was requested to treat the ailing emperor in Delhi. This ultimately resulted in his death as he was ordered to marry the emperor's daughter but refused to stay in Delhi. His tribe, the Chib Rajputs of Kashmir and Punjab come to his shrine in Jandi Chontra in Bhimber to pay their respects and ritualistically celebrate the births of their children. In the last few decades, the popularity of the shrine has grown among non-tribe members due to the belief that visiting the shrine will help childless couples bear children.

Raja Dharam Chand was the seventh Raja of the Chib Chand line. He converted to Islam and was named as Raja Shadab Khan of Bhimber. He was killed by Ibrahim Lodhi and his tomb still exists on the hills of Bhimber by the name of Baba Shadi Shaheed.
