18.2.3

The eleventh was the grandfather of this vilest of men, namely, Séyd-aalim-ollah, the Tebateba, who descended from Hassen, elder son to the grandson of the Prophet, and came from the place of his burial; and were we to mention all his virtues and merits, the mention would require a volume by itself. Suffice it to say, that he arrived at Azim-abad, in the year 1155 of the Hedjra; and in the month of Shaaban of the next year, he departed towards the mansions of the Divine mercy. The mortifications and austerities he underwent, and the miracles and prodigies he operated, and of which I have been a witness with thousands of others, (because they were always performed in open day and in public) are all taken notice of in a piece of poetry of mine, entitled the Nature of the Pontife. Most of them shall be found there. The twelfth is the glorious Shah-hdideri, maternal uncle to my paternal grandmother. He was bluntly attached to the sect of Shyahs, and noways inclined to spare the opposite sect. Resigned in his fortune, and satisfied with his estate, he was haughty and overbearing to the proud, but full of modesty and deference with the poor and the humble; and here is a proof of it: Ecber-cûly-qhan, father to the late Mirza-iredj-qhan, which latter was father-in-law to Seradj-ed-doulah, having engaged him by dint of intreaties and importunities to accompany him into Bengal, he settled at Bagalpûr, a town for which he took a liking.
