The Commentator of "Al-Qanoon" (Canon of Avicenna) Abul Fatah known as "Maseehuddin" also was a native of Gilan. He migrated to India during Akbar's period (1556-1605 A.D.). The emperor honoured him by confering Sadarat of Delhi, Malwa and Gujarat and bestowed upon him the title of Hasht Sadi. His commentary on the Canon is known as "Fatahi", in which he explained various problems elaborately. He was well versed in anatomy and connoisseur of Prose and Poetry. He had made a good change in Huble-Buble and he was the first who had made the inhailing of smoke less harmful. He died on 20th June, 1580 A.D.
