A Halvetî sheikh; the guide of Şâbân-ı Velî, the pîr of the Şâbâniyye branch of the Halvetiyye.
There is some confusion in the sources about his identity: he has been mistaken for another Hayreddin Efendi from Tokat.
He was trained under Cemâl-i Halvetî (d. 899/1494), known as Çelebi Halife, the founder of the Cemâliyye branch of the Halvetiyye. After serving briefly at the Koca Mustafa Paşa lodge in Istanbul he was sent to Bolu.
He carried on the work of spiritual guidance at Bolu and Düzce Pazar.
He died after 937 (1530).
His Circle of Influence — The best known disciple he trained is Şâbân-ı Velî, the founder of the Şâbâniyye branch of the Halvetiyye. He also had such disciples as Muslihuddîn-i Konrapavî and Mahmûd-ı Kürevî.
His Tomb and Complex — A tomb attributed to him is found in the village of Elmalık, thirteen kilometres from Bolu; commemorative ceremonies with wide participation are held there during the summer months.
Differing Scholarly Views
His identity has been confused with another's. The source records that in the historical sources he has been mistaken for another Hayreddin Efendi from Tokat. The information in this record belongs to the person the source distinguishes.
🔴 The date of his death is a LOWER BOUND. The source says "after 937 (1530)"; in the atlas record, however, 1530 appears as a single year. The year in the record is the lower bound reduced to a single year, and it needs to be corrected (principle 6).
The tomb is attributed to him. The source expresses no certainty about the tomb in the village of Elmalık; neither does the atlas.
