First link of the Khwajagan chain and chief successor of Abu Ali al-Farmadi; he studied under Abu Ishaq al-Shirazi at the Nizamiyya Madrasa in Baghdad. His most famous successors are Abd al-Khaliq al-Ghujdawani (the branch leading to the Naqshbandiyya) and Ahmad Yasawi (the Yasawiyya). He died at Bamiyin on 22 Rabi' al-Awwal 535 AH (5 November 1140); his body was carried to Merv by his disciple Ibn al-Najjar, and his grave is today the famous restored shrine at Bayramaly, Turkmenistan. The Sheikh Yusuf Hamadani shrine in Diyarbakır, Turkey, is a memorial (maqam) dedicated to him, not his grave. (Sources: TDV Encyclopedia of Islam 'YÛSUF el-HEMEDÂNÎ'; D.
