He was one of the disciples of Mullā Aḥmad-i-Jand.* He was an able Mullā, and quick and ready in controversy, but was not eloquent, and when engaged in teaching behaved grotesquely. His figure was ungainly. He spent his time in religious retire­ment. He came from Transoxiana to India, and taught for four ¹⁵⁷ years in the jāmi‘ masjid of Kh'āja Mu‘īnu-d-dīn-i-Farankhūdī* in Āgra. By the grace of God he was enabled to perform the pilgrimage to the two holy places, and in Makkah the glorious he departed this life, dying at the age of seventy.
