According
to
locals,
the
grave
of
Sanan
bin
Salma
is
located
at
Chaghar
Matti.
It
is
a
place
of
attraction
for
the
people
of
Khyber
Patkhtoonkhuwa.
He
along
with
other
Mujahedeen,
reached
this
particular
place
of
Peshawar
in
order
to
fight
against
Hindu
Rajas
and
raise
the
flag
of
Islam.
He
got
shahadat
in
66
AH
and
was
buried
there
in
a
collective
grave
said
to
be
of
many
other
companions
of
Muhammad
ﷺ,
along
with
Mujahedeen.
Sanan
bin
Sanan
bin
Salma
was
also
a
learned
person
and
commander
of
army.
When
Khurasan
was
conquered,
Ziyad
ibn
Abih
was
appointed
as
Hakim
(Governor)
of
Khurasan.
This
was
the
period
of
Usman
who
had
scattered
his
army
in
different
regions.
All
these
commanders
and
generals
of
army
conveyed
the
message
of
monotheism.
They
traveled
far
and
wide
in
order
to
preach
this
important
concept
of
Allah.
Among
these
Commanders
was
Abdullah
ibn
Sawar,
who
was
killed
along
with
other
companions
in
Kalat.
After
this
incident
in
66AH,
the
Governor
of
Khurasan,
Ziyada,
sent
Sanan
bin
Salma
as
a
Commander
to
conquer
the
regions
of
Hindustan.
According
to
legend,
first
he
crushed
the
revolt
in
Makran
and
waving
the
flag
of
Islam
went
ahead.
He
went
on
to
conquer
Kalat
and
Quetta.
Here
he
established
the
foundation
of
a
strong
Islamic
Government.
Then
after
conquering
D.I.
Khan
and
Bannu,
he
reached
Kohat
and
there,
he
established
his
rule.
After
conquering
the
valley
of
Peshawar,
Sanan
bin
Salma
entered
into
"Daudzai"
and
in
Chaghar
Matti,
the
great
commander
and
his
army
fought
a
bloody
battle.
Conquering
this
place,
Sanan
bin
Salma
and
his
other
Mujahedeen
(fighters
for
the
sake
of
Islam)
were
got
shaheed.
All
these
people
were
supposedly
buried
here
in
Chaghar
Matti.
This
tomb
is
now
known
as
Ashab
Baba,
which
over
the
years
has
assumed
the
status
of
a
shrine.
There
are
many
other
shrines
in
the
vicinity.
They
include
the
shrine
of
Sharsham
Baba
and
shrine
of
Mian
Jo
Baba,
the
shrine
of
Nadan
Shaheed
and
that
of
Chahal
Ghazi
Baba.
