Mian Adam Shah Kalhoro, the ninth descendant of Chenai, was born in a small village. He rose to prominence through the patronage of Wadera Khabar Abro of Dabah village. The small village of his birth became a centre of Islamic spiritual learning.
Mirza Abdul Rahim Khan-e-Khánán, a Nawab (a princely ruler), visited Adam Shah Kalhora to ask for his blessing, pay his respects and offer him the zamindar or parguna (an area of land) of Chándúkah, as a jagir (a feudal life estate), for support in a military campaign. Later, his blessings was accepted and Khan-e-Khánán came back victorious from the Battle.
