He is Mulla ‘Ali the brother of the well-known Mulla Sadiq. He acquired his learning in the Sayings in Arabia, and was extremely pious and temperate. He came twice to India, and in the year H. 981 (A.D. 1573-74) entered the protection of God’s mercy, when the famous Mulla ‘Alim of Kabul made this chronogram on his death:
