Ali oğludur. Amasya’ya gelip Mehmed Paşa Medresesi’nde ikâmet ve fuzalâdan Abdullah Vecih Efendi’den tahsîl-i ulûma muvâzabet ederek 1216’da ikmâl-i tahsîl edib ders-i âm oldu.
Yeniçeri talebe vak’alarında kuvvetli mantıkıyla ulemâ ve talebeyi müdâfa’a ederek yeniçerilerin gayzını kazanmışdı. 1241 senesi zilka’desinde yeniçeri ocağının ilgâsından en ziyâde sevinen bu zât oldu. Ba’dehû vefât etdi. Vâ’iz, natûk, cesûr idi. Talebeliğinde bütün yeniçerileri yıldırmışdı.
He was the son of Ali. He came to Amasya, stayed in the Mehmed Pasha Madrasa, and, continuing his study of the sciences under the scholar Abdullah Vecih Efendi, completed his education in 1216 [1801-02] and became a teacher giving general lessons.
In the Janissary-student incidents he had defended the scholars and students with his strong logic and had earned the wrath of the Janissaries. In Zilkade 1241 [1826] it was this man who rejoiced most at the abolition of the Janissary corps. Then he died. He was a preacher, an eloquent speaker and a brave man. As a student he had cowed all the Janissaries.
The Mehmed Pasha Complex stands in the Mehmed Pasha quarter of Amasya, near the Yeşilırmak. Its builder was Hızır Paşazâde Mehmed Pasha (d. 900/1495), vizier of Bayezid II and tutor of Prince Ahmed; according to the inscription of the mosque the building was completed in Muharrem 891, that is, January 1486. According to Ebru Karakaya the complex consisted of a mosque, madrasa, imaret, tomb, tabhane, zawiya, fountain and cemetery; the mosque, the wing rooms attached to it and the tomb have survived. Because the madrasa and imaret burned and disappeared, nothing can be learned of their architecture. The mosque and tomb were damaged in the earthquake of 1939 and then repaired by the General Directorate of Foundations. That is, the madrasa where Eyyûb Efendi of Niğde stayed no longer exists; the mosque of the same complex stands.
In Hüsameddin's book Şeyhzâde es-Seyyid el-Hâc Abdullah Vecîh Efendi is named as a teacher in about ten entries; he is one of the well-known scholars of Amasya, counted a "muhakkik" (a scholar of verified learning), and is written to have been mufti of Amasya. His father Hasan Sinânî Efendi was sheikh of the Çevikce Lodge; the children were called "Şeyhzâde". In 1194 [1780] the müderrisship of two madrasas was given to him, and his son Ahmed Rüşdü Efendi became müderris of the Hüseyin Ağa Madrasa, vacated by his father's death, in 1219 [1804-05]. That Eyyûb Efendi received his licence in 1216 falls in the teacher's last years. Another entry of Hüsameddin names Ahmed Efendi of Kavak, who also stayed in the Mehmed Pasha Madrasa and studied under the same teacher: Ahmed Efendi later became sheikh of the pulpit of the Mehmed Pasha Mosque, took the side of the state and of reform in the abolition of the corps in Zilkade 1241, and died in 1244 [1828-29]. The shared attitude of these two students from the same circle may be a clue to the stance of the madrasa milieu toward the Janissaries; this is an inference.
In another entry (Karahasanoğlu Mustafa Ağa) Hüsameddin speaks of a Student-Janissary incident in 1233 [1817-18] and of the Janissary-Student incident of Şevval 1239 [1824], in which seven scholars and students were killed by Janissaries. Details of these events could not be found in other sources; which of them Eyyûb Efendi opposed the Janissaries in is not written. The Janissary corps was abolished in Istanbul on 17 June 1826. According to Kemal Beydilli, among the crowd that turned against the rebellion were also madrasa students who were at odds with the Janissaries. By calculation, Zilkade 1241 falls in June 1826; that is, the month Hüsameddin gives is the month of the abolition in Istanbul. One of the first consequences in Amasya was the execution of a Janissary serdar (see the entry Karahasanoğlu Mustafa Ağa). After the abolition of the corps the Bektashi lodges were also closed, and Hamdullah Çelebi, the postnişin of Hacıbektaş, was exiled to Amasya in 1827 by a decree; he died in Amasya in 1846, was buried in the Pirler locality, and a tomb was built over his grave in 1847 (Serkan Erduğan).
