    A brief biography of Shah Ibn Shuttari Sahab of Hyderabad


     
    Shah Sahab was born in Augranabad, but the date of birth is not
    known. And he was among the Syed people, descended from
    noble parents. And he was among the progeny of Hazrat Ahmed
    Gujrati Sahab. And his father was a disciple and caliph of Syed
    Shah Shaikan Ahmed. He had migrated to Hyderabad from
    Aurangabad during the rule period of the Nizam, Ul-Mualk Asif
    Jah Bahadur first. And he has settled down permanently in
    Hyderabad.
    Hazrat had a habit of loneliness, and for this reason, he used to
    meet people very rarely and talk with them. And Hazrat used to
    engage in the remembrance of Allah and take an interest only in
    the well-being of the other world. As a result, Hazrat used to pay
    less attention to and care for his family members. The mother of
    Nawab Nizam Ali Khan Bahadaur Asif Jah II has a devotion to
    Hazrat. It is said that the mother of Nawab Nizam Ali Khan
    Bahadaur Asif Jah II has announced that " Among holy persons
    present in Hyderabad, one who will come into her dream and
    make her a disciple of him, then she will become a disciple of
    that holy person in this matter." So Hazrat went into the dream
    world and made her his disciple. " And upon this, she went into
    his presence, and she became his disciple.
    The Shaikh of Time left this mortal world on the 18th of
    Shawwal, 1209 Hijiri, corresponding to 1795 A.D. in
    Hyderabad, during the reign of Nawab Nizam Ali Khan Bahadur
    Asif Jah II. The expenses for the funeral rites were paid by Asif
    Jah II. He was buried in the residential house in Dabirpura in
    2

    Hyderabad. Hazrat left behind one son, and his name was Syed
    Ghulam Shuttari. Afterward, he became his successor and
    custodian and caretaker of the shrine. (Tadhkira Deccan volume
    II, page 650)
    Location of the tomb: Hazrat’s tomb is located at the backside
    of the old mansion (Purani Haveli) inside of Dabirpura gate on
    the road in Kotala Sad Dina), who was the real grandson of
    Hazrat. And his name was Hazrat Syed Shah Ghulam Hasan
    Shuttari, and his patronymic name was Saad Dena. And he was
    a great Majzub (dauntless person ) of his time and his condition
    of dauntlessness, for which he was well known. So, for this
    reason, the locality was well known by his name, which is
    mentioned as above. He owns the total area of this locality,
    including permanent houses, shops, and adjacent land, as he has
    purchased it. And all this property was included in the boundary
    of the Estate of Havil Qadim, and in the bungalow in Havili
    Qadim there is the police office of the Nizam’s private Estate of
    Hyderabad. And bazaars and shops are under the custodianship
    of the private estate office.
    Hazrat’s tomb is on the way to the main gate on the southern
    side, and it is like a double tomb (as in its walls are double) and
    the first tomb is in the shape of an 8-sided rectangle. There is
    one door on the western side. Another type of tomb is the
    circular type. And in a door, there are 3 sides. And in it, there
    are 3 doors facing east, west, and the southern side. This tomb's
    circular diameter is 15 feet and 3 inches. On the inside and
    outside of the tomb, for some areas, there was a floor of stone.
    Hazrat's Tomb:In the circular tomb there is Hazrat’s tomb. And
    the grave is made of red soil. And around it, there is a stone
    3

    floor. And it was 6 feet in length and 3 feet and 7 inches in


    width. And his head side height is 2 feet, gradually decreasing to
    one foot and 6 inches on the foot side. And there are four strong
    pillars of wood standing, and the other four pillars are lying
    inside the tomb on all four sides.
    Shah of Hyderabad, your name will be found till judgement day.
    So be kind to Hafeez and also to all the needy people of the city.
