Tuan Sheikh Mohd Sahabudin is a different person than Datuk Shahbuddin bin Haji Mohd Amin, founder of Masjid Banda Hilir, Melaka. Datuk Shahbuddin was a bachelor.

My great-great-grandfather is Sheikh Mohd Sahabudin (based on Wasiat Hj Md Sharif). A photo of Sheikh Mohd Sahabudin showed a small built Malay man with turban and wearing baju Melayu, kain pelekat and spectacles.
