Saint

Abdullah ibn Yashari (Karıncalı Dede)

According to the tomb inscription he is counted among the Khorasani Turkmen dervishes, a reputed disciple of Khwaja Ahmad Yasawi who came from Turkestan to Anatolia with his wife Ünzile Hatun. His tomb sits on a rock above the E-25 road in the Ahmediye (formerly Adliye) neighborhood of Arifiye and is a popular faith-tourism site; his 'ant' legend lives on in local folklore. Biographical details rest largely on oral tradition (marked makam/legendary). (Sources: Sakarya Directorate of Culture and Tourism; Sakarya University Şehir Hafızası)

Saint

Hıdır Dede (Taraklı)

Named in the Vilâyetnâme of Hacı Bektâş-ı Velî, he is regarded as a Khorasani / Abdalân-ı Rûm dervish associated with the spiritual conquest of Taraklı; some traditions count him among Akyazılı Sultan's brothers, others as a son of Karaca Ahmed. His tomb on Hıdırlık Hill in Taraklı's Ulucami neighborhood has been visited for centuries and honored annually by the 'Hıdırlık Pilavı' tradition. The figure is hagiographic and not fully verifiable from historical records (marked makam/legendary). (Sources: Vilâyetnâme of Hacı Bektâş; Sakarya University Şehir Hafızası)
