Historian

Muḥammad Hādī first entered the service of the Mughal Empire during the time of Awrangzīb (see Awrangzīb (ʿĀlamgīr I)). During the reign of Šāh Aʾlam, son and successor to Awrangzīb, he reached a high position and received the title of Kamwār Ḫān. The author is mostly known for his works of history, though he also completed a continuation of Jahāngīr’s memoirs extending them to the emperor’s death. Muḥammad Hādī’s exact date of death is not known.
