Title

Cenādil Ḳalʿesi

جنادل قلعسي

Notes

This Turkish verse work composed in a folksy Old Anatolian Turkish style, consists of a fictional account of the conquest of a castle attributed to the great early Islamic commander, Khālid ibn al-Walīd (d. 21/642), خالد ابن الوليد, a companion of the Prophet Muḥammad of the Quraysh tribe who served as the commander of the forces of Medina and was renowed for his bravery and military successes over the Byzantines and Sasanians, as well as his important role in the Riddah Wars. This fortress may refer to that of Dawmat al-Jandal, a vibrant trading center in Arabia. The Battle of Dawmat al-Jandal was fought in 12/633 between the Muslims led by Khālid ibn Walīd, خالد ابن الوليد and the Christian Arab Kalb tribe. Although the work’s composition date is unknown, it was probably written sometime in the 14th century [1300-1399 CE].

Biographical notes

Naḳīboğlu Tāceddīn, associated with the region of Denizli, appears to have been an early Mevlevi devotee and mudarris or madrasa teacher. Aflākī, افلاكي’s Manāqib al-ʿārifīn, مناقب العارفين gives his name as Mowlānā Tāj al-Dīn-i Mudarras, “known as Ibn-i Naqīb,” the Persian equivalent of Naḳīboğlu, and likewise refers to him by the epithet, “King of Teachers.” Aflākī, افلاكي mentions him in conjuction with ʿĀrif Çelebī, عارف چلبي. When ʿĀrif Çelebī, عارف چلبي was still an infant, Jalāl al-Dīn Rūmī, جلال الدين الرومي designated him as his spiritual successor. In honour of this occasion, i.e., ʿĀrif Çelebī, عارف چلبي’s spiritual precosciousness which prompted his father Rūmī to make him his successor while still in the crib, Naḳīboğlu recited a poem, which is reproduced in Aflākī, افلاكي’s work.

Muḳaffaʿ Ḳaʿlası Destānı

مقفاء قعلهسى دستانى

Notes

This masnawī of over 600 couplets (ranging from 640-673 depending on the manuscript) relates an imaginary maghāzī involving ʿAlī b. Abū Ṭālib (علي بن ابو طالب) and the famous early Muslim commander, Khālid b. Walīd (خالد بن واليد) against a pagan ruler by the name Muḳaffaʿ, the leader of the Banī Pinhān. Although Muḳaffaʿ first refuses to except Islam, his daughet converts to Islam and marries Khālid b. Walīd. In the end, just before he dies Muḳaffaʿ finally converts. The work place of composition is western Anatolia, most likely Bilecik.
