Notes
Ahmed b. Ḥayder al-Ḥarīrī, 11./17. He is a scholar who lived in the Ottoman geography in the 19th century. His pamphlet on Mahdīm, which he wrote towards the end of Sultan Ibrāhīm's reign, forms the basis of this article. This treatise, which has survived to the present day as recorded in the vikaya pages of a fatwa magazine and no other copy of which has been identified yet, was written by Aḥmed b. It reflects the expectation of the emergence of Mahdi very well at the individual and social levels during the period in which Hayder lived. In fact, this expectation stems from the fact that the prediction of the beginning of the apocalypse, which reached its highest form during and after the reign of Sultan Suleyman I and after the Hijri millennium, but did not come true, was transferred to the next century. The content of the treatise is based on a combination of the views of two names that had a great influence on the Mahdi literature in the Ottoman Empire, such as Muḥyiddīn İbnu'l-ʿArabī and Celāluddīn es-Suyūṭī. In the article, first Ahmed b. Hayder's life and the treatise's belonging to him were discussed, and then the treatise was subjected to content analysis based on the information reflected between the lines. The version of the treatise arranged in Arabic letters, its translation and the visual image of its original version are presented as an appendix.
