Husayn al-Hamawi (15th century), a fifth-generation descendant of Abd al-Qadir al-Jilani, was a Qadiri shaykh who guided disciples in Hama, Syria. To Eşrefoğlu Rumi, sent to him at the direction of Hacı Bayram-ı Veli, he granted the Qadiri deputyship within forty days, making him the key link in carrying the Qadiriyya to Anatolia and in the chain of its Eşrefiyye branch. His death date is not recorded in the sources; his grave is held to be in Hama, but its exact location is unknown.
