Notes
The work, written by the Celvetî Sufi Aksaraylı Seyyid Hasan Rızâyî, as its name suggests, talks about "observations around the faithful who are aware of the secrets of Allah, whose forgiveness is wide, or a walk among the pure people who are people of secrets, and the pleasure obtained from this walk." Work; He briefly mentions the scholars, poets, writers, Sufis, Sufis, judges and some righteous people from Aksaray, some of whom Rızâyî met. All of the people about whom important information is given in the work are from Aksaray or live in Aksaray even if they are not from Aksaray. The work, which also includes some biographical information about the famous Sufi Sheikh Hamîdeddîn-i Aksarâyî (Somuncu Baba), who died in Aksaray and whose tomb is in this city today, and his family, also provides important data for some current debates about this person. The information given by Rızâyî, the son-in-law of the Somuncu Baba family, is valuable due to its position. Rızâyî himself is at the center of the work, which also features autobiography, memoirs and sergüzeşt-nâme, and important data about his biography and family are also presented; Sufi formations such as Halvetî, Celvetî, Mevlevi, Kalenderî, which were formed in Aksaray in the 17th century, and their followers are mentioned. Halvetî sheikh Hamza Baba, with whom Sultan Ahmed I had dialogues and with whom the famous statesman Kuyucu Murad Pasha was affiliated, Halvetî sheikh Molla Ali Efendi, poet and judge Dânişî Şa'bân Efendi, Kadı Abdurrahmân Aksarâyî (Rızâyî's father), one of the sincere devotees of Aziz Mahmûd Hüdâyî, Seyyid Ahmed Çelebi (Rızâyî's brother), Seyyid Muhammed Hoca Şâh (Rızâyî's son), Aksaraylı Abdürrahîm Efendi, Aksaray judge Mimzâde Ahmed Efendi, Ulucami orator Hacı Abdülcelîl Efendi, Sheikh Hâmid Efendi, a descendant of Somuncu Baba, Külhanî Ali Dede, who was probably a Kalenderî abdal, and Mevlevi. Dervîş Osman can be counted as the important people with whom Rızâyî stated that he established a relationship in the work. Rızâyî's mention of the historical, religious and cultural structures in 17th century Aksaray makes the work particularly important. It is Rızâyî himself who informed us about the existence of the work. He gave information about the content of Nüzhetü'l-Ebrâr in his work titled El-Mahmûdiyye fî-Menâkıbı Ricâli'l-Bilâda. No biographical or bibliographic sources mentioning the work have been found. The work, which is important because it shows how well the author has knowledge of this language because it is written in Arabic, is located in the İbrahim Hakkı Konyalı Library (Selimiye Manuscripts) together with other works of Rızâyî, at number 65 and contains pages 154a-176a. There are also Turkish verse and prose sections on the first pages of the work. The Arabic text begins at 157b.
