He was a high-minded man and a follower of the pure religion who had so acquired angelic qualities that they became, as it were, ingrafted in his noble nature. Though clad in the outward garb of wealth he possessed the inward attributes of holy poverty. From association with many of the great Shaikhs of his time he had profited much, and had inherited much of the customs of his noble ancestors. In good breeding, but especially in liberal disbursement of his substance,* in independence of character, good fellowship, and uprightness in his dealings, he was one of the noblest of God's works. He followed the cere­monial observances of the law and imitated the laudable qualities of the ancients and their successors so closely that he omitted not the observance of one tittle of the holy law.* Such were his endeavours to fulfil all the requirements of the law of the congregation* that even in the time of his mortal sickness, when he was suffering from a painful chronic disorder he did not omit the recital of the “Allāhu Akbar”* at the commencement of his prayers. The conversation in his assemblies consisted always of texts from the Qur'ān, traditional sayings of the prophet, and the words of holy men. He died in the year H. 995 (A.D. 1587),* and the words “The Mīr of laudable qualities”* were found to give the date of his death.
