A warrior-dervish and companion-in-arms of Battal Gazi; sources describe him as an Umayyad-era ghazi who, by tradition, was martyred near Sivas in 731 CE (113 AH) fighting the Byzantines. Although Sivas folk tradition reveres him as one of the Companions, historical records place him among the tabi'un/ghazis rather than the sahaba. His tomb stands on the 'Yukari Tekke' rocky outcrop in the Kilavuz quarter of Sivas.
