it does not detract, but being from the noble lineage certainly adds! of course it is a special honour. anyway, that was not the intention here but we were asking for information purporses and is certainly an important aspect of one's biography.
even if he was not a sayyid it would not detract from his greatness as a great alim but i always thought he was. we mustn't get a sayyid fetish though like some of our brethren who use it as an excuse to look down their noses at non-sayyids... pir sayyid irfan shah sahib says something beautiful that being a sayyid gives you twice the rewards but also with it comes twice the responsibility and, if u sin, twice the punishment...
i have other books by the shaykh, some which include sayyid and some do not. i also faintly remember someone long ago saying that the shaykh was not sayyid - he could have been mistaken; or i could have forgotten. books which add sayyid on the title: - al kalimatu'l `ulya li iylai ilm al-mustafa : a wonderful read on the matter of ilm al-ghayb in urdu. ad-dawlah is too advanced, and this is a simplified version accessible to anybody who can read urdu. - riyaz e nayeem - sawaniH e karbala - khazayin al-irfan; a commentary on the qur'an. books that don't: - aTyab al-bayan raddi tafwiyatu'l eeman - kitab al-aqayid
i was not sure about it and was about to amend it shortly after verification. if i recall correctly, hashmi miyaN said in a speech some years ago: 'sadr al-afazil ban saktey ho, sayyid nahin ban saktey.' in fatawa riDawiyyah, vol.23, pg.712 [fatwa number. 354] alaHazrat is asked about an issue and mawlana nayimuddin is mentioned without the appellation of 'sayyid' whereas, usually such an appellation is mentioned particularly when referring to ulama. [if it is mentioned anywhere else, i do not know.] these statement are open to interpretation, and are not proof that he was not a sayyid. yet, i wanted to verify it prior to stating it. nothing against the shaykh. raHimahullah wa raDiya anhu.
