A saint widely venerated at his tomb in Yukarı Kıratlı village of Kozluk; according to tradition he came from Basra and settled in the region. A weapon called 'Zerk' said to be his is kept at the tomb, and a large pilgrimage is held on the third Friday of May. Because traditions about his era conflict (era of Caliph Umar / roughly 700 years ago), his dating is uncertain and the site carries a maqam/legendary character.
