Sahib Husayni

Sayyid Sāhib Ḥusayni (1805–9 January 1880) was a famous Sufi saint from Hyderabad State, India and had a great influence over spiritual developments in the Deccan area.

The thirteenth in line from their descent was the famous Sufi Shaikh Abdul Qadir Gilani, who founded the Qadiri Order and Sayyid Sahib Ḥusayni is his direct descendant.

Eventually he claims to have had dreams in 1825 which his father appeared and advised him to become the disciple of Shah Muhammad Maroof Shahidullah Farooqui Chisti Qadiri, who was a famous Sufi of his times in Hyderabad.

The same year, Shah Muhammad Maroof Shahidullah Farooqui Chisti Qadiri appointed Sayyid Sahib Ḥusayni as his "khalifa" (successor).

During the upcoming years, Shah Muhammad Maroof Shahidullah Farooqui Chisti Qadiri visited his khalifah Sayyid Sahib Ḥusayni a number of times in Tekmal.
