Abbasis first came to Uch Sharif on the invitation of Bukharies and
Gilanis. Later on, they got the areas of Shikarpur from Governor of
Multan as Jagir. After the death of Amir Sadiq Muhammad Khan his
eldest son named Amir Muhammad Bahawal Khan came into power and
founded the city of Bahawalpur. The name, Bahawalpur has been driven
from Amir Muhammad Bahawal Khan.
