Notes
A work attributed to Somuncu Baba, whose name is mentioned in some sources at later dates. Meaning the weapon of the disciples, it is a work consisting of prayers and dhikrs compiled from the Holy Quran and hadiths, read as a daily vird after the morning prayer. This name has never been encountered among the works written on Silâhu'l-Mürîdîn. It is the author himself who informs us about the existence of the work and its name. In his work titled Kalime-i Tevhîd Zikri Risâlesi (Risâletü'z-Zikr: Zikr Risâlesi), the author says, "As for prayers, the most virtuous of prayers are the prayers that Allah sent down in the Word of God for our benefit through the tongue of His Prophet. Later, "These are the prayers that I had previously compiled and arranged in Silâhu'l-Mürîdîn, and which were performed by the language of Allah Almighty and His Messenger, and which also came with authentic and powerful documents in Kutub-i Sitte." and the prayers titled "Hâzâ Hizbü'ş-Şeyh Hamîd el-Ârif Kaddesellâhu Sırrahû ve Nefe'anâ Bih", which are found in the "Şâzeli" volume of Ziyâeddîn Gümüşhanevî's Mecmû'at'ül-Ahzâbadlı, may also be Silâhu'l-Mürîdîn. Because these prayers attributed to Hamîdüddîn-i Aksarâyî in Mecmû'at'ül-Ahzâb, although not mentioned with the name Silâhu'l-Mürîdîn, are compatible with the prayers mentioned by the author in the Zikr Treatise. For this reason, Silâhu'l-Mürîdîn is mentioned together with Mecmû'at'ül-Ahzâbil. However, upon examination of Evrâd-ı Hamîdiyye, located in the Istanbul Millet Library, Ali Emîrî, 34 Ae Arabi 730/5, it is understood that there is a separate copy of the work. Although the prayers in the relevant part of Mecmû'at'ül-Ahzâb are the same as those in Evrâd-ı Hamîdiyye, these are, as the author mentioned, the Qur'an. It is mentioned in the Holy Quran and hadiths. A copy of the work is in the library of Ankara University Faculty of Theology, registered under the name Evrâd Hâmidüddîn Hâmid Aksarâyî, with place number 37307. In short, there are 3 copies of Silâhu'l-Mürîdîn, in Mecmû'at'ül-Ahzâb, in the Istanbul Millet Library and in the library of Ankara University Faculty of Theology (Kuşsan-Gül 2020: 343-346, Şimşek 2020: 31-32, Ulu 2021: 140).The translations of the work's copy of Mecmû'at'ül-Ahzâb were made by Mahmut Ulu and Osman Çakır. Ulu, Hizbu Hamîdü'l-Arif section of Mecmûatü'l-Ahzâb; Çakır translated the entire document in Mecmûatü'l-Ahzâb (Çakır 2021: 479-482, Ulu 2015: 115-124). The translation of the work's Evrâd-ı Hamîdiyye copy was made by Selami Şimşek (Şimşek 2020: 53-76). The copy in the library of Ankara University Faculty of Theology has not been studied yet. It is also seen that the work is attributed to Hacı Bayrâm-ı Velî due to its similarity with his name Evrâd-ı Bayrâmiyye. Although both works are similar, they are not exactly the same. Hacı Bayram-ı Velî took the documents and made some additions and deletions. (Şimşek 2016: 19-57). For the biography of the author, see. “Somuncu Baba”.Turkish Literature Names Dictionary.
