He arrived from Burhanpur, in the reign of Nizam Ali Khan (d.1803) like most Hyderabadi sayyids. Shujaauddin Husayn moved into the precincts of the Jama Masjid, though he is buried in the Dargah at Eidi Bazaar. On his death in 1848, a domed tomb, mosque, and drum room, naqqar khana, were built constituting the Dargah.
