Shaykh Abul-Hasan Zaid Fārūqī writes in Maqāmāt-i Akhyār that he had heard that Shaykh Azīz al-Qadr was buried in Najīb-ābād near Bijnor, India.

He had two wives, from whom he had three sons and three daughters. His first wife was Ishrat Khanum, daughter of Shaykh Muhammad Anwar-Allah Mujaddidi, grandson of Shaykh Abd al-Ahad Wahdat. From her, he had two sons Hafīz al-Qadr and Ahmad Ma’sūm. From his second wife, he had one sons Shaykh Safiy al-Qadr. His daughters were: Simrah, Jamīlah, Fasīh an-Nisa’.
