A Rufâî sheikh popularly called 'İmam Sultan', said to descend from the Ahl al-Bayt (Imam Ali). Tradition holds he was born in Medina around 1349, settled in Kayseri around 1369 and died there in 1414; he was buried in the cemetery of the Rufâî lodge he served, and a tomb was raised over his grave in 1537. His remains were for a time moved to the Seyyid Burhâneddin Tomb but returned to the original site in 1994, when the tomb was reopened for visitation. (Sources: M.
