Hazrat Mian Sahib was descendant of Hazrat Imam Hussain Alaihisalam. His original name is Syed Abdul Khaliq, however,out of respect people remember him as Mian Sahib.
His family tree is mentioned below. This information was taken from the book “Shenshah-i-Walait” written by Muhammad Yousaf Naqshbandi of Chak Akka, Jhelum.
“Syed Abdul Khaliq bin Syed Shams-ud-din bin Syed Ameeran bin Syed Suleman bin Syed Nizam-d-ud-din bin Syed Mian bin Syed Yasin bin Syed Jalaludin Multani bin Syed Bahaudin Multani bin Syed Jalal Jaafar Multani bin Syed Hameed-ud-din Multani bin Syed Muhammad Sadr Ajal Multani bin Syed Ahmad Multani bin Syed Abdullah Multani bin Syed Muhammad Khurazmi bin Syed Ali(Mastana-e-Haq) bin Syed Muhammad Khurazmi bin Syed Abdullah Misri bin Syed Muhammad Hassan Misri bin Syed Muhammad Bughdadi bin Syed Ali al-Uraidhi (RA) bin Hazrat Imam Jaafar Sadiq (RA) bin Hazrat Imam Muhammad Baqir (RA) bin Hazrat Imam Zain-ul- Aabedin (RA) bin Hazrat Imam Hussain (RA) bin Sher-e –Kuhda Hazrat Ali Al-Murtaza(Alaihissalam)”.

Arrival in Jhelum
This is difficult to determine the exact arrival date of Syed Abdul Khaliq Rahmatuulalaiahe to Chak Abdul Khaliq. According to one opinion, he migrated from Moinuddinpur (District Gujrat,Pakistan) and settled in this new area for preaching Islam . In my opinion, this seems to be correct as his immediate forefathers were buried in city of Moinuddinpur .
The other opinion might be that he accompanied Sher Shah Suri as a soldier and later decided to stay in this new vicinity.
The arrival date was narrated between 1540 to1545 AD by research scholar Syed Raffi-ud-din Sahib,a former educator and administrator in Punjab Education Department.
This is narrated that one day Sher Shah Suri was reciting Holy Quran.He made a mistake in reciting and, all off sudden he heard a voice from nowhere that king had rectited the verse incorrectly. Sher Shah Suri was surprised by this and wanted to find out who was correcting him then Mian Sahib manifested himself to the King to acknowledge that he had done so .After this miracle,King became his devotee and and offered this area to the Saint as a gift.The king also married one of his daughters to Mian Sahib.
The analysis of this anecdote and existing ground facts confirm the above story. This is due to the fact that land holders of the surrounding area of this village are mainly direct descendants of Syed Abdul Khaliq (RA) since centuries.
