History
editSayyid Hasan Fakhruddin was the first Zaidi Sayyid who settled down here in 1104/1106 AD, who came here from Chattbanur, a village in Patiala district of Punjab, India. Sayyid Hasan's mazaar is in Sambhalhera. Sayyid Hasan was a direct descendant of Sayyid Abu'l Farah Al Hussaini Al Wasti, who came to India from Wasit, a town of Iraq situated on Iraq-Iran border, on the request of Mahmoud of Ghazni. By the beginning of the 20th century, Zaidi Sadaat originating from Sambalhera were living in about 85 cities in India.
Sambalhera is listed in the Ain-i-Akbari as a pargana under the sarkar of Saharanpur, producing a revenue of 1,011,078 dams for the imperial treasury. It is not mentioned as providing soldiers to the Mughal army, but the presence of its Sayyid community is noted.[2]
