He was the son of Shaikh Muhammad Hafiz and grand son of Shaikh Ahmad Ghous from Ansaar Danishmand tribe of Kaniguram/Jalandhar. So he was direct descendent of Shaikh Ibrahim Danishmand-1 and Hazrat Abu Ayub Ansari.

Shaikh Ahmad Ghous’s first marriage was with his maternal cousin at Kaniguram & from this marriage a son named Muhammad Hafiz was born, and Saadullah was the son of Muhammad Hafiz.

In 1555 AD when Sh. Ahmad Ghous left for Herat and then to Lahore, along with his familial compound, accompanying Mughal King Humayun, then his grand son Saadullah was just 14 years old. After reaching Lahore, Sh. Ahmad Ghous stayed here for some time and then left for Jalandhar (to live with his second wife from Jalandhar – this family chain was dis continued after two generations due to no off spring). However few of his family members, including his son (Muhammad Hafiz) decided to settle in Lahore. They stayed here for eight generations, approx two centuries. and at last joined their tribe at Jalandhar in 1760 AD.

During the period of stay in Lahore, the grand son of Shaikh Ahmad Ghous (called Haji Saad Ullah Lahori) became a famous Islamic scholar of his time for Fiqh and Hadees. He was also the Teacher of Shah Hussain (A famous Sufi poet also known as Madho Lal Hussain) teaching him Fiqh and Hadees in 1573 AD.
