The Tomb of Shaikh Muhammad Bukhari and Jafar Khan is a historical Islamic funerary site located in Samalpati, near Patan. The monument is associated with two members of the family of Shaikh Farid Bukhari, also known as Murtaza Khan, an influential Mughal noble who served under Emperor Akbar and Emperor Jahangir. Shaikh Muhammad Bukhari was the uncle of Shaikh Farid Bukhari and is described in historical accounts as one of the trusted men of Emperor Akbar. Jafar Khan, his brother, is recorded as having died while fighting in Gujarat in 1573. Their association with the Mughal administrative and military establishment gives the tomb complex historical importance in understanding the region's Mughal-era connections. The monument is part of the wider landscape of Islamic funerary heritage around Samalpati and Sahasralinga Talav. It is also important to distinguish this site from the nearby tomb of Shaikh Farid Bukhari and the separately identified mausoleum of Bairam Khan. These are associated with different historical individuals.
