Prophet son-in-law Haidar's imprint on Hyderabad

Little-known evidence in the form of correspondence between Mir Momin Astarabadi, the erstwhile peshwa (prime minister) and architect of Hyderabad, and Shah of Iran Abbas Safacityvi prior to the laying of Hyderabad's foundation in 1591 indicates that the city's layout was made in the name of Haidar - the title of Prophet Mohammad's son-in-law Hazrat Ali.
