Yahya Saleh continued to lead pilgrimages for the next three years until 1580, and present gifts and Sadaqah to humble authorities of Mecca and Medina. He probably aided Ottoman Admiral Hadım Suleiman Pasha and his fleet of 70 Xebecs during the siege of Diu in 1538. He objected and resented Akbar's relations with the Portuguese at Diu and Goa. He made personal efforts to defend both Surat and Janjira from any impending Portuguese threat.
