Syed Saleh is reportedly buried in Kabul, Afghanistan. His grandson, Aqa Syed Safdar Rizvi went to Lucknow along with his son Aqa Syed Ali, known as Aqa Syed Ali Rizvi Kashmiri. Aqa Syed Ali was educated in Najaf and Karbala in Iraq and was a leading intellectual, an Ayatollah and a renowned jurist, whose son Ayatollah Syed Abul Hassan Rizvi Kashmiri (Abbu Sahab) is credited as having established a well known Shiite Islamic school, Sultanul Madaris, and also helped in establishing the school of Jamia Nazimeyeh, both in Lucknow. This Aqa Syed Ali Kashmiri was also the maternal grandfather of the Gnostic and jurist, Ayatollah Syed Murtazha Rizvi Kashmiri.
