He was the most learned of the sages of his time. Some of his learning he acquired from Mullā Aḥmad-i-Jand* and some from Mullā Maḥmūd-i-Surkh,* and he also studied for a while under Mullā ‘Iṣāmu-'d-dīn Ibrāhīm.* He came to India and entered the service of the emperor, who delighted much in his company. He possessed all the qualities of a true, religious man and was lowly-minded and of a most genial disposition. In from understanding, likewise, and quickness of perception no Mullā Turkistān who has appeared in this country has equalled him. He was an eloquent and charming speaker, and as a teacher was kind and gentle towards his pupils.

He passed away into the presence of the Lord's mercy in the year H. 970 (A.D. 1562-63) after his return from India to Kābul.
