阿思哈，薩克達氏，滿洲正黃旗人。 Asiha, of the Sakda clan, was a Manchu bannerman of the Plain Yellow Banner.

責阿思哈卑鄙錯謬，不勝巡撫任，召還，奪官。 He condemned Asiha as mean and misguided, unfit to serve as governor, recalled him, and stripped his rank.

學政謝溶生劾阿思哈婪賄派累，命尚書劉統勳、侍郎常鈞等按鞫，得實，擬絞。 Provincial education commissioner Xie Rongsheng impeached Asiha for extortion and corrupt levies. The emperor ordered Minister Liu Tongxun, Vice Minister Chang Jun, and others to investigate; the charges proved true and strangulation was recommended.

師徵緬甸，阿思哈出銅壁關至蠻暮軍中，奏軍中糧馬不敷。 During the Burma campaign Asiha went from Tongbi Pass to the army at Manmu and reported shortages of grain and horses.

大學士舒赫德師討王倫，命阿思哈偕額駙拉旺多爾濟率健銳、火器兩營以往。 When Grand Secretary Suhede marched against Wang Lun, Asiha was ordered to accompany Imperial Son-in-Law Lawang Duo'erji at the head of the Elite and Firearms brigades.

事定，拉旺多爾濟言城北搜剿王倫餘黨，阿思哈未同往，下吏議，奪官，命留任。 After the rebellion was suppressed, Lawang Duo'erji reported that Asiha had not joined a search north of the city for Wang Lun's remaining followers. Officials were ordered to investigate; he was stripped of rank but allowed to keep his post.

卒，賜祭葬，諡莊恪。 He died and was granted state funeral honors; his posthumous title was Zhuangke ('Steadfast and Reverent').

阿思哈初撫江西，上眷之獨厚。 When Asiha first governed Jiangxi, the emperor favored him unusually.

哲治舉阿思哈對，時以為難能。 Zhezhi named Asiha instead. At the time many considered that a remarkable act of candor.

焯、阿思哈、景素坐貪皆勘實，猶尚復起； Chao, Asiha, and Jingsu were all convicted of corruption on solid evidence, yet were restored to office;
