Hazrath
Hyder Ali Khan Bahadhur (RA), the father of Maharaja-e-South India, Hazrath Tippu
Sultan Shaheed (RA), was greatly inspired by many Faqeers, Alims, Sufis and Mashayaks.
Some of his advisers informed him about Hazrath Syed Mohammed Aqheel Shah Qadhiri
Baghdadi (RA) who was a great Faqeer and Sufi in Channapatna shareef at that time. Hazrath
Hyder Ali Khan Bahadhur (RA) came to meet Hazrath Syed Mohammed Aqheel Shah Qadhiri
Baghdadi (RA) and gave salami with great obedience (adab). The former told the
later that he had seen many Peers and Faqeers but he wanted to know what a real
Faqeer was and submissively requested Hazrath Syed Mohammed Aqheel Shah Qadhiri
Baghdadi (RA) to explain about Faqeer of Allah. Hazrath
Syed Mohammed Aqheel Shah Qadhiri Baghdadi (RA) replied - if you want to know
what a real Faqeer was, keep your sword down. Then, Hazrat Hyder Ali Khan Bahadhur
(RA) laid down the sword near his legs, suddenly Hazrath Syed Mohammed Aqheel
Shah Qadhiri Baghdadi (RA) picked up the sword and separated his head from his
body and asked, still you want to know about faqeers! SubhanALLAH. Hazrath Hyder
Ali Khan Bahadhur (RA) was very much astonished to see such a miracle and begged
pardon from the great Auliya of Channapatna. Hazrat Hyder Ali Khan Bahadhur (RA)
also said - He had seen a true faqeer of Allah and requested Hazrath Syed Aqheel
Shah Baghdadi (RA) to take any thing from his empire (sultanate) but Hazrath Syed
Mohammed Aqheel Shah Qadhiri Baghdadi (RA) asked him to go back saying that faqeers
do not require any worldly things because their objective is to serve the humanity. 
Also
note that the Famous Lal Bagh Botanical Garden of Bangalore was named by Hazrath
Hyder Ali Khan Bahadhur (RA), who set up three Gardens - Lalbagh at Srirangapatna,
a garden at Malavalli and the Lalbagh Gardens (Bangalore) which was referred to
as the Rose & Cypress Garden till 1856. Hazrath Hyder Ali Khan Bahadhur (RA)
commissioned the building of this garden in 1760 but his son, Hazrath Tippu Sultan
Shaheed (RA) completed it. Lalbagh is a 240 acre (971,000 sq.m. - almost 1 sq.km)
garden and is located on the southern part of Bangalore. It holds a number of
flower shows, especially on the Republic Day (26th January). The garden has over
1,000 species of flora. The Glass House, modeled on London's Crystal Palace (now
re-modelled with a different layout), is the center of attraction. Hazrath Hyder
Ali Khan Bahadhur (RA) laid out these famous botanical gardens and his son added
horticultural wealth to them by importing trees and plants from several countries.

acquired India's first lawn-clock and the subcontinent's largest collection of
rare plants.
