Qamar is of the opinion that stories about Ali Haidar`s devotion or respect for Mai Safoora had no foundation because Mai Sahiba was almost 54 years junior to the saint whose tomb was constructed in 1795 by the order of Multan`s Afghan ruler Nawab Muzaffar Khan. According to the chronology quoted by Yousuf, Ali Haidar died some four years after the death of Mai Safoora. Ali Haidar died at the age of 98.
