Gazi Saiyyed Salar Sahu or Saiyed Salar Dawood or Sahu Bin Ataullah Alavi or Salar Sahu (Persian: غازى سيد سالار ساھو) was a gazi and a commander in the army of Sultan Mahmud Ghaznavi who came to the Indian subcontinent in the early 11th century.[1][2]
Salar Sahu was a descendant of Muhammad ibn al-Hanafiyyah, son of Ali. His father's name was Tahir Ataullah, and his son was Ghazi Saiyyad Salar Masud. He had two brothers one of them was Syed Maroofuddin Ghazi.[3] He was probably a brother-in-law of Sultan Mahmud Ghaznavi, purportedly married to the latter's sister, Sitr-i-Mu'alla. He came to India along with Sultan Mahmud Ghaznavi as his army commander.[4][5][6]
He died nearly 1000[vague] years ago in Satrikh and is buried there.[7]
