Amasya‘nın Şamlılar Mahallesi’nde Mirzâ Tekkesi şeyhi el-Hâc Mustafa Efendi bin Mirza Yûsuf el-Buhârî mahdûmudur. Ulemâdan ulûm-i Arabiyye ve şer’iyyeyi ve pederinden maârif-i sûfiyyeyi ahz edib pederinin irtihâlinde mezkûr tekke şeyhi oldu.
Otuz yıldan ziyâde âyin-i tarîkatı icrâ ve merâsim-i ibâdeti ifâ ederek 1253 hudûdunda vefât etdi. Sâlih, âbid, bir şeyh-i âlim idi. Kibâr-ı meşâyihden addolunurdu. Mahdûmu Turâbî Mustafa Efendi de meşâyihdendir.
He is the son of Hacı Mustafa Efendi, sheikh of the Mirza Lodge in the Şamlılar quarter of Amasya, who was the son of Mirza Yusuf of Bukhara. He learned the Arabic sciences and the religious sciences from the scholars, and Sufi learning from his father; when his father died he became sheikh of that lodge.
For more than thirty years he had the rites of the order performed and carried out the ceremonies of worship, and he died around 1253 [1837-38]. He was a good, devout and learned sheikh. He was counted among the great sheikhs. His son Turâbî Mustafa Efendi is also among the sheikhs.
Şamlılar also appears in the sources as Şamlar. The small complex built in the late fifteenth century by Ayas Ağa, one of the chief gatekeepers of Bayezid II's reign, stands in this quarter; it consists of a mosque, a madrasa and a primary school. Hüsameddin reports that the complex has no inscription and was built in 900 [1494-95]. The mosque is said to remain open for worship today. Since the sources do not mention the location of the Mirza Lodge or its closeness to this complex, no relationship can be established beyond their being in the same quarter.
No information was found in other sources about the Mirza Lodge, Mirza Yusuf of Bukhara, or his son Mustafa Efendi. A master's thesis on the lodges of Amasya exists, but since its full text could not be reached, nothing can be said of its contents.
