A warrior-dervish (gazi-derviş) said to have been sent to the region during the Anatolian Seljuk period for the conquest of the Garbîkaraağaç (Acıpayam) area, who then settled there and founded a lodge to guide the people. The town of Yatağan that grew where he settled takes its name from him. His tomb bears the Hijri date 642 (1244-1245); his exact birth and death dates are unknown. Besides his own, the tomb contains the cenotaphs of his wife and his son Murat Bey. The türbe was registered as a monument on 23 January 1991.
