'''Sadaat-e-Bahera''', sometimes pronounced Sadaat-e-Bahara, are a community of [[Sayyid]]s, originally from a group of twelve villages situated in the [[Muzaffarnagar]] district of [[Uttar Pradesh]] in [[India]]. This community had considerable influence during the reign of the [[Mughal Empire]]. Its members were also found in [[Karnal District]] and [[Haryana]], [[Gujarat]] & [[Karnataka]], [[Maharashtra]] state in [[India]].Some of the members of this community have migrated to [[Pakistan]] after independence and have settled in [[Karachi]], [[Khairpur State]] in Sind and [[Lahore]].<ref>People of India Uttar Pradesh Volume XLII Part Three page 1247 Manohar Publications</ref> One prominent person was Col. S.G. Mehdi, M.C, a renowned Pakistani military officer also considered the father of the SSG, Pakistan Army's elite de corps, the Special Services Group. He died in March, 2015.

==History and origin==
The ancestor of Bārha Sayyids, Sayyid Abu'l Farah Al Hussaini Al Wasti, left his original home in [[Wasit, Iraq]], with his twelve sons at the end of the 10th century or the beginning of the 11th century [[Common Era|CE]] and migrated to India, where he obtained four estates in Punjab. Over time, Abu'l Farah's descendants took over Bārha riyasat (township) in Muzzafarnagar.<ref>[https://books.google.com/books?id=95Q3AAAAIAAJ&pg=PA126&dq=Sayyids+of+North+India&hl=en&sa=X&ei=E2zAUIGBHYKImQWguoCwAg&ved=0CC4Q6AEwADgo#v=onepage&q=Sayyids&f=false The Encyclopaedia of Islam: Supplement : Parts 1-2], page 126, Clifford Edmund Bosworth, Brill Archive, 1980</ref>

There are four sub-divisions of Barha Sadaat in Muzaffarnagar area:<ref>[https://books.google.com/books?id=GY8gAAAAYAAJ&pg=PA12&dq=Sayyids+of+Bilgram&hl=en&sa=X&ei=4DLAUMy-EZGIrAenwYHoCQ&ved=0CDoQ6AEwBDhG#v=onepage&q=Mohan&f=false Memoirs on the history, folk-lore, and distribution of the races of the North Western Provinces of India], Sir Henry Miers Elliot, Trübner & co., 1869</ref>
# the Tihaanpuri, whose chief town was [[Jansath]], belong to Syed Najm uddin
# the Chatraudi, whose chief town was [[Sambhalhera]], belong to syed abu'l Fazaail Al Wasti,
# the Kundliwal, whose chief town was [[Mujhera]], belong to Syed Daoud.
# the Jajneri, whose chief town was Bidauli, belong to Syed Abu'l Faraaish,

The origin of the Sadaat-e-Bara or Barha is traced to Sayyid Abu'l Farah Al Hussaini Al Wasti, son of [[Sayyid Daud Al Hussaini]], who came to [[Ghazni]] in [[Afghanistan]], from [[Wasit]], at the invitation of [[Mahmud Ghaznavi]]. He had twelve sons of whom four settled in four villages [[Kundli]] Tihanpur, Jajner and Chhat-Banur, near the city of [[Patiala]]. These four sons founded a number of clans, the main ones being Chhatrodi, Kundliwal, Tihanpuri and Jajneri, from the villages assigned to them.<ref>ain-e-Akbari Abul Fazal Henry Beveridge's translation Footnote on Sayyeds of Barha</ref>

Another descendant of Sayyid Abu'l Farah was Syed Mustufa AlHussaini (Thasra Village- Gujarat)& his brothers Syed Alaad(Alauddin) AlHussaini( Gothada Village -Savli-Gujarat) & Syed Nateeb AlHussaini ( Pali Village -Gujarat )came During the Sultan Mahemud Begada's Sultanate 1484 AD & [[Syed Mustufa's son Syed Muhammed AlHussaini]] ''Qazi-ul-qazat'' who was given a post of Chief justice and a grant of three villages in Sarnal, Gujarat by [[emperor Aurangzeb]] in 1674 AD and he migrated there. These three brothers' descendants form the branched of Sadat Bárha in Gujarat (Thasra, Pali & Gothada).

When the [[Sayyids]] came to India from Central Asia they chose to settle in Muzaffarnagar; these people were called the Saiyids of Barha or (Sadaat-e-Barah)]. The area has one of the largest concentrations of [[Sayyids]] in India.
