A sayyid of the Hâşimî line and a Rifâî sheikh born in Mecca in 1829. After spreading the Rifâiyye in Afghanistan for some twenty years, he was honored by Sultan Abdülhamid II and settled in Sivas in 1876, founding a Rifâî lodge in Paşabey in 1884. He attended the 1919 Sivas Congress as a Sivas delegate, supported Mustafa Kemal and provisioned the delegates — a documented figure of the National Struggle period. He died in 1922 at about age 92; his tomb is in the Paşabey quarter of central Sivas. (Sources: F. Çınar, 'A Sayyid in the Sultan's City: Arap Şeyh'; Sivas Bülteni.)
