'''Fateh Muhammad''' or '''Nadim Sahib''' (6 May 1684 – 9 September 1729) was an official of the [[Mughal Empire]] in [[Mysore]] region, and was the father of [[Mysore Sultanate]] founder [[Hyder Ali]], who was his fifth child from his third wife, and the paternal grandfather of the Mysore Sultanate Ruler [[Tipu Sultan]].<ref>de la Tour, p. 34</ref><ref>Bowring, p. 12</ref><br />
<br />
He was born on 6 May 1684 at [[Doddaballapura|Doddallapur]] in the [[Bijapur Sultanate]], 2 years before the Mughal Empire took control of the region during the reign of [[Aurangzeb]]. His father Ali Muhammad, a descendant of Sufi mystic [[Shaikh Bahlol Daryai|Muhammad Bahlole]], had come to Gulbarga and married daughter of custodian of shrine of [[Banda Nawaz]].<ref>Wilks, p. 149</ref> He was killed in action at the age of 45 years, 4 months, and 3 days in a battle between Tahir Muhammad Khan, who was the Subahdar of [[Sira Subah|Sira]], and Jaher Khan of Chittor on 9 September 1729. He was buried at Kolar alongside his parents. <br />
<br />
At an early age, he served as a commander of 50 men in the [[Rocket artillery]] of the army of the [[Nawab of Carnatic]]. It is believed that he served alongside [[Zulfikhar Ali Khan|Zulfiqar Ali Khan]], the first Nawab of the Carnatic during the [[Siege of Jinji]]. This was maintained under the command of the [[Mughal Emperor]] Aurangzeb with the purpose of capturing or killing the renegade [[Maratha]] ruler [[Rajaram Chhatrapati|Rajaram]].<ref>Narasimha etc al, p. 120</ref> then later in 1700s he became a valuable Military Commander. Fath Muhammad eventually entered the service of the [[Wodeyar]] [[Raja]]s of the Kingdom of Mysore, where he rose to become a powerful military commander. The Wodeyars awarded him [[Budikote]] as a [[jagir]] (land grant), where he then served as [[Nayak (title)|Naik]] (Lord).<ref name=B13>Bowring, p. 13</ref><br />
