Biographical notes

One of Ḥacı Bayram’s successors who achieved significant fame and standing during his lifetime. His name may have been Aḥmed Şemseddīn, ʿAbdullāh or Muḥyiddīn. His father was known by the name Ḥacı. Other than his son who was his successor, Aḳbıyıḳ’s lineage also includes Ramażān Baba from Akkerman who had a lodge in Bursa. Aḳbıyıḳ had long hair and did not wear a cap, the reason for which is explained in a hagiographical tale involving Ḥacı Bayram. He had an ecstatic temperament. Hagiographical stories narrate his fallout with Ḥacı Bayram, but the issue may have been resolved before the latter’s death. In the year of 841 AH [1437 CE], Aḳbıyıḳ was granted the property of the town of Austus in Yenişehir, Bursa by Murād II. The ownership was subsequently approved by Meḥmed II in 856 AH [1452 CE]. Aḳbıyıḳ was famous for his wealth, for which the town ownership may have been the source. Aḳbıyıḳ participated in the battles of Varna and Kosovo during the reign of Murād II. He also took part in the conquest of Constantinople during the reign of Meḥmed II. He built a mosque in the district of Ahırkapı in Constantinople, which includes a visitation site (maḳām) in his name indicating that he died in 894 AH [1488-1489 CE]. Sources generally agree that Aḳbıyıḳ died during the reign of Bayezid II. He is buried in Bursa. His tomb was once part of a lodge complex built by Aḳbıyıḳ with the revenue from the town of Austus. Aḳbıyıḳ was among the names in the lineage of the Celvetiyye order. The many pen names attributed to him include Şems-i Hüdā, Şemseddīn, Hüdāyī Şemseddīn. The fact that Aḳşemseddīn also used the pen name of Şemseddīn has led to a mixing of the poems by the two poets.

Title

Ḥikāyāt-ı Nāy

ﺣﻛﺎﻳﺎﺕ ﻧﺎﻱ

Notes

A short mes̱nevī on the doctrine of the oneness of being (vaḥdet-i vücūd). Its only copy includes 423 couplets, although the existence of missing pages indicates that the mes̱nevī may have been longer. After describing the qualities necessary for a lover of God (ʿāşıḳ), Aḳbıyıḳ narrates how he heard the sound of the reed flute one day in the company of his friends. This led Aḳbıyıḳ to a state of ecstasy in which he heard the voice of God. Aḳbıyıḳ then describes the reed flute in detail, as well as the stations on the way to union with God. In his state of ecstasy, Aḳbıyıḳ converses with God and visits saints and prophets. He comes across Khidr and asks him questions regarding the oneness of being. After hearing Khidr's replies, Aḳbıyıḳ becomes one with God, to whom he asks further questions. Aḳbıyıḳ ends his tale with advice to the novice.
