Short History:

Sayyidna Ad-Dai' Dawood bin Maulai Ajab Shah was born on the 11th of Muharram ul-Haraam 932/ 933 AH (6th November 1525 AD/ 27th October 1526 AD) in the daur of 21st Dai' Sayyidna Ad-Dai' Husain bin Sayyidna Idrees bin Hasan Al-Waleed Al-Anf.

He died on the 27th of Rabi' ul-Aakhir in the year 997 AH (14th March 1589 AD) when he was just 65 years of age.

He was pasted poison on his wound in the leg by Dawood bin Maulai Qutub Shah in his last days as Dawood bin Maulai Qutub Shah was privy to Nass from 26th Dai' Sayyidna Ad-Dai' Dawood bin Maulai Ajab Shah on 27th Dai' Sayyidna Ad-Dai' Sulaiman bin Sayyidna Hasan Al-Hindi as he was made to write the Nass through his own hands as it was narrated and told by 26th Dai' Sayyidna Ad-Dai' Dawood bin Maulai Ajab Shah by his tongue.

This made him jealous towards Nass and Mansoos alaihi i.e., towards Sayyidna Ad-Dai' Dawood bin Maulai Ajab Shah & Sayyidna Ad-Dai' Sulaiman bin Sayyidna Hasan Al-Hindi; so to revenge it he pasted poison in the leg wound of Sayyidna Dawood bin Maulai Ajab Shah. The wound which was due to a nail which had made a deep wound in his leg.

This resulted in the Shahaadat (martyrdom) of the 26th Dai' Sayyidna Ad-Dai' Dawood bin Maulai Ajab Shah.
