Amasya ulemâsından Antâbî el-Hâc Mustafa Efendi’nin mahdûmudur. Pederinden ve Merzifonî el-Hâc Mustafa Efendi’den ikmâl-i tahsîl edib ders-i âm olup, pederinin vefâtında kendisine hayli emvâl ve emlâk intikâl etdiğinden vüs’at ü yesâra nâ’il oldu.
Ba’dehû Ayas Ağa Müderrisi olarak ulemâ arasında temâyüz edib birkaç defa a’yân ve hâciyân meclislerine azâ olduğu halde [613] 1136 sâlinden sonra vefât etdi. A’yân-ı ulemâdan idi. Mahdûmu el-Hâc Mustafa Efendi’dir.
He is the son of Antepli Hacı Mustafa Efendi, one of the scholars of Amasya. He completed his studies under his father and Merzifonlu Hacı Mustafa Efendi and received authority to teach. Since a good deal of property and possessions was left to him when his father died, he attained abundance and wealth.
Then, as müderris of the Ayas Ağa Madrasa, he distinguished himself among the scholars. Several times he was a member of the councils of the city's leading men and of the pilgrims. He died after 1136 [1723-24]. He was among the foremost of the scholars. His son is Hacı Mustafa Efendi.
The entry describes a typical Amasya scholarly family in which learning and wealth went together. The father, whose being from Antep is clear from his nickname, was himself a scholar and so was his son's first teacher, while the studies were completed with a scholar from Merzifon. Hüsâmeddin states explicitly that the estate left by the father brought him abundance. It also emerges from the order of the account that he came to the professorship after this wealth.
No exact date of death is given; Hüsâmeddin writes only that he died after 1136. No information was found in other sources on the Ayas Ağa Madrasa or on this person.
