Baba Ratan Hindi

[8][1] Around that time, there were stories circulating of an Indian sahaba of Muhammad still being alive and that various Muslim scholars and traders from Central Asia and Western Asia, even Andalusia in the Iberian peninsula, travelled to Bathinda to meet with Baba Rattan in-order to hear his accounts on Muhammad and compile hadith based upon them.

[citation needed] Others associate him with Muhammad, who foretold his birth at Mecca in Arabia where he travelled during Hajj, before finally settling in Bathinda in Punjab after his reported conversion to Islam.

[1] The name given for Baba Rattan's father varies depending on the tradition, with some variations being Nusr, Sahu, or Janak.

[1] According to the 16th century Asab by Hafiz Ibn Hajar, Baba Rattan's grandfather was a Vaishya Hindu from Bathinda named Janak Dev Sarraf.

[1] Baba Rattan performed miracles in Kabul, which impressed a local ruler, thus he was bestowed with a land-grant to construct a temple and establishing a dhuna (sacred-fire) within it.
