Sayyid Hacı Ali, described in his epitaph as 'the master of sayyids,' was a sayyid (of the Prophet's lineage), son of Sayyid Maksud, who lived in the Ottoman period and, according to the tomb inscription, died in Rabî' al-awwal 1003 (November 1594). He is buried in his cut-stone, octagonal, single-domed tomb in the Harran Gate (Bediüzzaman) Cemetery. The tomb also holds the Qâdirî sheikh Hacı Kermozâde Hacı Mustafa Efendi (d. 1876), his sons, a daughter, and Sheikh Hüseyin (d. 1969) — six graves in all — reflecting its character as a Sufi visitation site.
