Oh Shah of Hyderabad, you are famous throughout the world.
You have done so much for Muslims and Islam in Hyderabad.
Hazrat was the son of Hazrat Syed Abdul Wahab Gujrati, who
was among the progeny of Hazrat Shaikh Abdul Quader Jilani.
He was born in Gujrat, and he was brought up there, and his
patronymic name was Syed Sahab. He was born in Gujrat, but
his date of birth is not known.
When Nizam Mulk Asif Jah left Delhi for Deccan province, at
that time, Hazrat was also accompanied by him along with his
older parents. And he reached Hyderabad, and upon the
insistance of the Nawab Sahab, he settled down in Hyderabad
permanently.
Hazrat was a darwesh who was enlightened and a perfect Sufi
person. Hazrat was very much a loner and he had a habit of
keeping a silent type of holy person. He was a strict holy person
who used to engage himself in the endeavours of remembrance
of Allah. He was always busy in his endeavours and he was a
Sufi person who left the world.
So the Nawab Nizam Ali Khan Asif Jah II (1175-1218 Hijiri),
who had requested him to kiss his feet in his presence, but
Hazrat refused, saying, "Nawab Sahab used to meet my nephew,
and meeting with him is equal to meeting with me."So excuse
this fakir. "
In short, Hazrat has the habits of a Darwesh person. He was
perfect in the knowledge of acquiring expertise and knowledge
of Allah.
