A legendary figure buried in Mahmutköy, Şuhut, counted among the Horasan dervishes; tradition holds he came with his brothers during the Seljuk-era conquest of the region (c. 1216–1219) and was martyred here. His tomb, about 3.5 km from Şuhut centre, draws many visitors. As firm dates are absent, it is marked shrine/disputed.
