Notes
A nine-page treatise containing prayers, prayers and dhikrs attributed to Sheikh Hâmid-i Veli. The author mentioned that he also wrote a prayer magazine called Silâhü'l-Mürîdîna in the Dhikr Risâlesi (Şeyh Hâmid-i Velî (yz), Nu. 81/6b; Ulu 2021a: 58-75).The fact that Silahü'l-Mürîdîn reflects the features mentioned there has created the opinion that the work may belong to Somuncu Baba. However, the belonging of the work to him is not certain (Ulu 2021: 163-167). The work includes verses, praises and some reminders containing basmala, praise, salvela, prayer, istighfar, ta'zim, takbir, prayer and praise. Somuncu Baba does not mention or refer to any source in this work. It only takes some verses from the Holy Quran. Somuncu Baba attaches special importance to raw food in his work (Şeyh Hâmid (yz), Nu. 1510: 307). He also focuses on the sentence "Lailâhe illallah" as well as "Hayy, Kayyûm, Qadir, Hakîm, Selâm, Zü'l-celâl ve'l-ikrâm, Afüv, Bâkî, Celle celâl, Alî, Azîm, Kerîm, Gafûr, Rahîm, Şekûr, Halîm, Evvel, He mentions the names and attributes of Allah such as Kadîm, Ahîr, Mukîm, Wahid, Hak (Sheikh Hâmid (yz), Nu. 1510: 307-308). In this work, Somuncu Baba also emphasizes the importance of spending the remaining time in prayer and dhikr after fulfilling the fards, sunnahs, nafilahs and other religious provisions. After the chapter of Kalima Tawhid and dhikr, it states that Muhammad is the messenger of Allah who makes his revelation valid and fulfills his commands (Şeyh Hâmid (yz), Nu. 1510: 309-310). There are three copies of the treatise that can be identified, the first of which belongs to Ahmed Ziyâeddîn Gümüşhânevî. The copy in the Şazelî volume of Mecmûatü'l-Ahzâb, titled "Hâzâ Hüzb'üş-Şeyh Hâmîd el-Ârif Kaddesallahu sirrahû ve nefe'anâ bih", between pages 306-315; The last one is the copy between the pages 177b and 182b of the journal registered as "Evrâd Hâmidüddîn Hâmid Aksarâyî" with the number 37307, located in the library of the Faculty of Theology of Ankara University. The following studies are related to these three copies of Silâhü'l-Mürîdîn: The first Turkish translation of the work was made by Mahmut Ulu, based on this copy (Ulu 2020: 111-124). The copy of Millet Manuscripts was published without translation by Recep Dikici. (Dikici 2017: 34-43). The translation of this copy was made by Selami Şimşek, including both its Arabic and pronunciation (Şimşek 2020: 41-76). However, the copy of the Ankara University Faculty of Theology Library has not been published yet. However, some of the above-mentioned copies of the three works of Şeyh Hâmid-i Velî have been collected in a single book for the first time. Both Arabic and Turkish translation texts of all three were published in 2015 (Ulu 2015: 63-124; Ulu 2020; Ulu 2021c: 226-240). Apart from these, an article in the form of a content analysis about the mentioned work was published by Mahmut Ulu (Ulu 2021b: 135-146). For the author's biography, see.
