Amasyalıdır. Amasya müftüsü müfessir-i meşhûr el-Hâc Hızır Efendi’nin büyük mahdûmudur. Pederinden ikmâl-i tahsîl edib ders-i âm ve sonra Halfet Gâzi müderrisi oldu. 1070’de pederiyle beraber Magosa’ya i’zâm edilip avdetinde tedrîs-i ulûm ederek 1078’de Yörgüç Paşa müderrisi oldu.
1084’de pederinin vefâtında ma’zûl ve ba’dehû mükerreren [119] Hızır Paşa müderrisi ve Sultân Bâyezîd kürsü şeyhi olup 1105 senesi evâ’ilinde vefât etdi. Âlim, vâ’iz, müteşerri’ idi. Mahdûmu Mehmed Efendi’dir.
He was from Amasya. He was the elder son of el-Hâc Hızır Efendi, the mufti of Amasya and a renowned Qur'an commentator. He completed his education under his father and received the authorization to give public lectures, then became müderris of the Halfet Gazi madrasa. In 1070 [1659-60] he was exiled with his father to Magosa (Famagusta); on his return he taught, and in 1078 [1667-68] became müderris of the Yörgüç Pasha madrasa.
In 1084 [1673-74], on his father's death, he was removed from his post; afterward he several times became müderris of the Hızır Pasha madrasa and kürsü şeyhi (preaching-chair sheikh) of Sultan Bayezid, and died in early 1105 [1693-94]. He was a scholar, a preacher and a man faithful to the sharia. His son is Mehmed Efendi.
Of the madrasas mentioned in the entry, the Halfet (Hilfet) Gazi Madrasa is dated to the early thirteenth century, to 1209-10. The Hızır Pasha Madrasa was built by Hızır Pasha as part of a complex consisting of a mosque, imaret, bath, school and fountain; in some studies this complex is dated to 1466. The terms of service and salaries of the müderrises of the Yörgüç Pasha Madrasa are specified in its waqf deed. The three madrasas Hüsameddin mentions show the Amasya madrasa system through which İbrâhim Efendi rose step by step.
Hüsameddin writes that İbrâhim Efendi was sent with his father to Magosa (the Cypriot city of Famagusta) in 1070 but does not give the reason for the exile. No explanation of this exile was found in other sources; nothing can be said about the grounds. About Hızır Efendi, Hüsameddin writes that he was a renowned commentator and served as mufti of Amasya; İbrâhim Efendi's name "Hızır Efendizâde" is tied to this father.
