Chaghar Matti
Chaghar Matti ((パシュトー語:چغرمٹی) ) or Matai is a village in Peshawar District of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Province of Pakistan. There is a Kabul River (shahalam) flowing on the side of Chaghar Matti, which plays an important role in the economy of the village. This river provides water for irrigation, environment for various fishes and birds’ species and providing scenic beauties. The fame of Chaghar Matti is due to the Tomb of Ashab Baba (the companions of Muhammad). Chaghar Matti is a part of Daudzai. Hujra is the tradition meeting place for the men and also serves as a guest house in Chaghar Matti. There are more than twenty small villages around Chaghar Matti, which have got their own local names, but they are known by the name of Chaghar Matti. Chaghar Matti is a central place for these villagers.〔See Pages 116 and 181 Report of the regular settlement of Peshawar district 1878〕
==History==
It is believed that Matai got its name after Chaghar zai tribe who lived here before Daud Zais came to the area. Another theory is that the name may be given by Sikhs, the Sikhs called this village "Chakni Matti" due to its fertile soil. This is also believed that Matai and Jatai were two villages not too far from each another and one day the Kabul River flooded to the extent that it washed away the entire village. The residents of Matai had to find a place on a high ground to escape the flood water. The two villages became apart and Matai found its new abode on the Southern bank of River Kabul leaving behind the sister village of Jatai at its original location. Matai and Jatai are still pronounced together by the people of Hashtnagar and Charsadda, thinking that it is the name of one village. The present village is situated at least 20 to 30 feet high from the river bed. The village changed its names over the course of time from Chukri matti, Chughri Matti, Chaghri Matti, to the present official name of Chaghar matti.
The village is situated on the bank of river Kabul (a branch of River Kabul known as Shahlamay). At the west end of the village near Kuddi, there is a famous shrine of Ashab Baba ( اصحاب بابا ), who was the companion of Prophet Mohammad, fought and breath his last near Chaghar Matti during 1st century after Hijra.To the East side of the village is the resting place of Hazarat Mian Ji Baba ( میاجی بابا).Who was a pious and religious person of great stature and respect. To the South West of the village and near Pir Kalay, the resting place of Hazrat Sharhsham (Gul) Baba is another attraction due to the abundance of Date Palms. This place is said to be the camping ground of Ashab Baba ( اصحاب بابا ), who brought dates with them as a food ration for the troops. The seeds became the date palms. The Date palms are not seen elsewhere in the area in such a large quantity. The locals consider these palms sacred and as opposed to other species of the trees, the branches or trunks are not burnt as fuel for cooking. However the branches were/are being used for heating water for ablution in the mosques and the trunks are still used to bridge small irrigation drains.
