Esbak Amasya Müftüsü el-Hâc Necib Ahmed Efendi bin Ürgübî el-Hâc Ahmed Efendi’nin mahdûmudur. Caniklizâde el-Hâc Hâfız Mehmed Hilmi ve İbikli el-Hâc Hasan Efendilerden tahsîl-i [758] ulûm ederek mücâz ve ders-i âm oldu.
1254’de pederinin vefâtından mahlûl olan Hızır Paşa Müderrisi olup tedrîs-i ulûm ederken 1298’de vefât etdi. Kâşifiyye Medresesi ittisâlindeki hânesinde mukîm, âlim, vâ’iz, münzevî idi. Oğulları Mustafa, Mehmed, Ali Efendilerdir. Yalnız Hâfız Mustafa Efendi ulemâdan idi.
The former mufti of Amasya, Hacı Necib Ahmed Efendi, was the son of Hacı Ahmed Efendi of Ürgüp. He studied under Caniklizade Hacı Hâfız Mehmed Hilmi and İbikli Hacı Hasan Efendi, received a license, and gained the authority to teach publicly.
In 1254 [1838-39] he was appointed to the professorship of the Hızır Pasha Madrasa, left vacant by his father's death, and he was teaching there when he died in 1298 [1880-81]. He lived in his house next to the Kâşifiyye Madrasa; he was a scholar, a preacher, and a man living in seclusion. His sons were Mustafa, Mehmed and Ali Efendi. Of these only Hâfız Mustafa Efendi was among the scholars.
Hızır Pasha, the brother of Yörgüç Pasha, founded three waqfs in Amasya in 870/1465. They provided for a madrasa and a mosque, and created posts such as professor (müderris) and assistant instructor (muid) to meet their needs. The deed also stipulated additional payments to the professor, assistant instructor and students serving in the madrasa built by his brother Yörgüç Pasha, and the recitation of the Qur'an at the grave of a grandson buried within the same madrasa buildings. Hızır Pasha endowed farmland, vineyards and gardens in Amasya itself, in Suluova, in Doğantepe and in Ladik, which belongs to Samsun, together with two inns and a bathhouse.
Shortly after the waqf was founded, in 1493, Hızır Pasha's son Mehmed Pasha donated thirteen villages, two hamlets, seven mills, a piece of farmland and a shop to his father's waqf. Revenues were generally calculated on the wheat and barley collected from the villages, while the inns and shops continued to bring in income, though a limited one. Most of the spending went to the salaries of staff and to repairs of the buildings. The accounting records show that the waqf continued to exist until the Republican period.
The researcher who studied the waqf records also notes that some irregularities occurred in the same period: appointments to posts not named in the deed, assignments to people who did not meet the conditions for trusteeship, and officials pressed into resigning and replaced by others. Ürgüblüzade Ahmed Efendi's becoming professor in 1254 in place of his father is one example of a madrasa professorship passing between father and son. Whether this complied with the terms of the deed could not be determined from the sources.
The madrasa for which the Hızır Pasha deed provided additional payments is the one built by his brother Yörgüç Pasha. According to the inscription over the door of the Yörgüç Pasha Mosque, Atabeg Yörgüç Pasha had the mosque built in 834 [1430]. The madrasa beside the mosque, a building with guest rooms (tabhâne), has not survived; the closed section east of the entrance iwan is thought to have been its lecture hall. It is quite likely that the madrasa in the deed is this one; this is an inference. In that case the Hızır Pasha Madrasa worked together with a waqf that supported an older madrasa.
The man of the entry served as mufti and at the same time taught in a madrasa. The holding of these two offices by one person is seen in other entries of the book as well. According to Hüsameddin's entry 782, Ahmed Sıtkı Efendi became mufti of Amasya in 1274 in place of Caniklizade Hâfız Mehmed Hilmi Efendi, one of the teachers named in the text. Ahmed Efendi was this teacher's student and a scholar who served as mufti in the same city in the same century. The statement that his house was "adjacent to the Kâşifiyye Madrasa" shows that this madrasa was standing in the nineteenth century.
No information could be found in other sources about Ürgüblüzade Necib Ahmed Efendi. No record could be found of the Kâşifiyye Madrasa, İbikli Hacı Hasan Efendi, or the other preaching scholars of Amasya. Studies dealing with the madrasas of Amasya note that there were more than forty, but they give no information on the present state of a building bearing this name.
