Abdüssamed bin Ali el-Buhârî mahdûmudur. Mevlânâ Kemaleddîn Ebü’l-mekârim İdris el-Buhârî diye ma’rûfdur. Sultân Mes’ûd-ı Selçukî hâcesi olup 540’da Amasya ve havâlîsini zabt ve istîlâ etdiği esnâda Amasya kadı’l-kudât’ı oldu.
Sultân Mes’ûd, merkez-i saltanat ittihâz etdiği Amasya Simresi’nde medrese ve hankâh binâ eyledikte bu zâtı müderris nasb edib Amasya’da ahkâm-ı şer’iyyeyi icrâ ve neşr-i ulûma himmet ederek 558 sâlinden sonra vefât etdi. Meşâhir-i ulemâdan idi.
He was the son of Abdüssamed son of Ali el-Buhârî. He is known as Mevlânâ Kemaleddîn Ebü'l-mekârim İdris el-Buhârî. He was the tutor of the Seljuk Sultan Mesud, and in 540 [1145-46], when the sultan seized Amasya and its surroundings and brought them under his rule, he became the chief judge (kadılkudât) of Amasya.
When Sultan Mesud had a madrasa and a hankah (dervish lodge) built in the Simre of Amasya, which he had made the seat of his rule, he appointed this man as professor. He applied the rulings of the sharia in Amasya, worked for the spread of learning, and died after 558 [1162-63]. He was one of the famous scholars.
According to most sources, Turkish rule came to Amasya in 1075, when İltekin Gazi, one of the commanders of Danishmend Gazi, took the fortress. It is told that he took the fortress by making Şeddat, the Byzantine governor he had captured, open the gate of the castle; the same account also states that after the conquest Danishmend Ahmed Gazi appointed Celâleddin Abdurrahman el-Hârezmî as the first kadı of Amasya. The Danishmendids were a Turkmen dynasty that ruled from 1071 to 1178 around Sivas, Tokat, Amasya, Kayseri, and Malatya.
Hüsameddin's record of 540 does not fully coincide with this line. According to the encyclopedia entry on Danishmendid history, Sultan Mesud I brought Yağıbasan, the ruler of Sivas and Amasya, into submission in 1152; and in the time of Kılıçarslan II, who succeeded on Mesud's death in 1155, Yağıbasan was given Amasya, Ankara, and Cappadocia. Then in the summer of 1175 Kılıçarslan II took Sivas, Niksar, Tokat, and the other Danishmendid lands. So I saw no record in another source that Amasya became a Seljuk capital in 1145-46; Hüsameddin's phrase "seat of rule" may derive either from a local account or from a period of temporary influence. The name "Simre of Amasya" calls to mind the district of Simre-i Lâdik in the sanjak records; but that Hüsameddin meant the same place could not be verified. The Hankâh-ı Mesûdî that Hüsameddin mentions elsewhere in his book is "supposed" to have been built around 540 (1145); that is, the author himself gives this date as a guess, not as certain.
The hankah tradition that the Great Seljuk State spread in Central Asia also continued in Anatolia, and the first lodge of Amasya was founded in the Anatolian Seljuk period. These buildings were left to the management of dervishes who came from Central Asia; they gave conversations to the public and taught their disciples the path of their order. So the building of a madrasa and a hankah together, as the book tells it, is not contrary to the institutional thinking of the period. It is seen that such institutions in Amasya continued in later generations; the Hankâh-ı Mes'ûdî that Hüsameddin mentions in the following entries is one of them.
In the garden of the Amasya Museum, formerly used as the Museum of Mummies, there is a Seljuk tomb of the eyvan type, referred to in official descriptions as the Tomb of Sultan Mesud; it is noted that the building is known to have been built in the twelfth century. By contrast, the encyclopedia entry on the death of Mesud I in 1155 says that although it is said that his tomb is near Amasya, this is not true, and that his body was buried in the tomb in the courtyard of the Alâeddin Mosque in Konya. So the sources do not settle whom the tomb in Amasya belongs to or which Mesud Hüsameddin's "Sultan Mesud" is.
İdris el-Buhârî's name does not appear in the encyclopedia entries and articles that describe Amasya in the Danishmendid and Seljuk periods. No information on this person was found in other sources; for this reason his tutorship of Sultan Mesud, his post as chief judge, and his professorship at the madrasa rest solely on Hüsameddin's account. No second record confirming the dates (540 and 558) could be found either.
