Biographical notes

Emīr Sulṭān was born in Bukhara, probably around 770 AH [1368-1369 CE]. His father Seyyid ‘Alī, known also as Emīr Külāl, was an established Sufi in Bukhara. The most probable tradition regarding his sayyid status is the tracing of his lineage to İbrāhīm b. Imām Mūsā al-Kāẓim. Emīr Sulṭān’s father died when he was seventeen or eighteen, after which he embarked on a pilgrimage journey together with other Sufis from Bukhara and traveled to Bursa after spending time in Medina and Baghdad. He arrived in Bursa during the reign of Bayezid I (d. 805 AH [1403 CE]) , whose daughter Ḫundī Ḫātūn he eventually married. In Bursa, Emīr Sulṭān’s fame spread quickly. Several traditions tell us that he had close relations with leading scholars of the time, including Mollā Fenārī (d.834/1431). During the invasion of Bursa by Tīmūr’s army, Emīr Sulṭān was brought before Tīmūr, who gave him the choice of accompanying him to Samarkand, but Emīr Sulṭān preferred to return to Bursa. Emīr Sulṭān supported Murād II (d. 855/1451) in his battle for the throne and took part in the siege of Constantinople by Murād II (825 AH [1422 CE]) together with five hundred of his dervishes. The tradition of investing sultans with the sword began with Emīr Sulṭān, who for the first time invested either Bayezid I or Murād II. After Emīr Sulṭān’s death, which probably took place in 833 AH [1429 CE], sultans continued to pay their respects to him, whose help they sought in battle. Himself a proponent of ghaza, the favours Emīr Sulṭān bestowed upon soldiers during and after his life played a large part in hagiographical tradition. Regarding Emīr Sulṭān’s Sufi affiliation, several conflicting accounts exist, the most likely of which traces his lineage back to Najm al-Dīn Kubrā (d. 618/1221). We can thus say that Emīr Sulṭān was a member of the Kubrawiya order. On the other hand, among his several hagiographies, those authored by his immediate successors trace Emīr Sulṭān’s Sufi lineage to ‘Alī b. Abī Ṭālib via the Twelve Imams. These accounts, along with the fact that Emīr Sulṭān wore a twelve-gored cap with a green turban suggest that he was a Twelver Shi’ite. After his death, many poetic works in praise of Emīr Sulṭān were composed. One such work, the Şefā‘at-nāme by Pīr Muḥyiddīn Muḥammed (fl. Sixteenth century), was misattributed to Emīr Sulṭān by manuscript library catalogues due to its entitlement as Kitāb-ı Emīr Sulṭān.

Biographical notes

A major saint of Bektashism and a prominent member of the Abdālān-ı Rūm, ابدالان روم, who probably played a major role in the dissemination of Bektashi teachings. According to İsmā‘īl Belīg’s Gül-deste-i Riyāż-i ‘İrfān (كلدستهء رياض عرفان), Abdāl Mūsā was one of the forty abdāls who migrated from Bukhara before the conquest of Bursa. Historians such as Ṭaşköprizāde , ‘Ālī and Ḫoca Sa‘deddīn state that Abdāl Mūsā participated in the conquest of Bursa and had close relations with Geyikli Baba. Abdāl Mūsā is portrayed as Bektashi in ‘Āşıḳpaşazade, who describes him as a follower of Ḥacı Bektāş’s spiritual daughter Ḫātun Ana. This affiliation is supported by the fact that Abdāl Mūsā’s disciple Ḳayġusuz Abdāl is the first dervish known to call himself Bektashi. ‘Āşıḳpaşazade also relates a tradition regarding Abdāl Mūsā’s role in the Bektashisation of the Janissary corps. We know from Ḳayġusuz Abdāl’s poems that Abdāl Mūsā carried a club and addressed his dervishes as “abdāls”. His followers wore animal hides, carried dervish bowls, and practiced blood-shedding during Muharram. The name of Şeyḫ Muṣṭafā Abdāl Mūsā appears on an inscription dated 811 AH [1408 CE], probably belonging to a rundown lodge, which figures on the right wall of a fountain at Denizli. If we accept that Abdāl Mūsā was alive on this date, then it becomes impossible for him to have attended the conquest of Bursa (726 AH [1326 CE]). An official document concerning Teke-ili during the reign of Mehmed II affirms the presence of an Abdāl Mūsā lodge near Finike, founded in the middle of the 14th century [1300-1399 CE]. This must be the lodge which became the lodge of Kāfī Bābā at a later date. The lodge in Elmalı, known in our day as the Abdāl Mūsā lodge, was founded during or after the 16th century [1500-1599 CE]. In time, the traditions relating to Abdāl Mūsā were transferred from one lodge to the other. A record in Evliyā Çelebi shows that this process was not yet complete in the 17th century [1600-1699 CE]. In some Bektashi sources and in the inscription at the Kāfī Baba Tekkesi near Finike, Abdāl Mūsā is designated as “pīr-i sānī” (the second great master). The lodge of Abdāl Mūsā is one of the four Bektashi lodges holding the rank of khalifa. Abdāl Mūsā and his disciple Ḳayġusuz Abdāl are name holders of two of the twelve sheepskin ceremonial seats (pūṣt) in the Bektāşī meydān (ceremonial room), linking them to the duties of ayaḳçı (holder of domestic duties such as cleaning) and naḳīb (helper of the mürşid) in the Bektashi ceremony (cem‘).

Notes

Poems attributed to Abdāl Mūsā appear in a number of mecmū‘as. However, most of these belong to the 19th century [1800-1899 CE], thus making the attribution doubtful. No studies have been conducted on the subject.
