Sefer Baba

Once upon a time, some dervishes showed up at the dergah in Kasimpasa to visit Hazreti Pir (Hasan Husameddini Ussaki (ksa)), and to stay over night.
Nevertheless, there was not enough space for everybody to sleep, Especially even for the driver of the Hazrat, called Sefer baba. Sefer baba, not willing to be apart from Respect Pir, then asked him; “my dear teacher, Efendim, where am I going to sleep tonight since There is no space left for me from Dervishes?’ This question upset Hazreti Hasan Husameddini Ussaki (ra), and he replied to his driver tensely; “Go to Hell!” After this reply, Sefer Baba left the dergah (the building), contemplating on his teacher’s suggestion to go to Hell. He said to himself; “In this world, it is not possible to go to Hell before death, that is Why; the hell my teacher was implying to must be the burning oven. Since I have to obey my teacher unquestionably, I have to find a burning oven.” Wandering around in Kasimpasa, where the dergah is located in Istanbul, looking for a bakery to find a burning oven, he has come across one place that bakes daily breads. Then, by repeating these words; “Destur Ya Allah, ya Aziz” (with the permission of Allah), he crawled into the burning oven while everybody else around him in Shock witnessing this. The Ayat from Kuran, that was applied to the prophet Hz. Abraham (as) in regards to the fire he was thrown by the king, was also applied to Sefer Baba in his case, and the fire turned into the rose garden. Moreover, it did not burn him. Sefer Baba came out of that oven only by sweating a little. After this event, Hazreti Pir forgave his driver and accepted him again to Dergah. Such a holy person Hazreti Pir was so that he has even protected the person whom He rejected from Dergah from getting burned just for the sake of loyalty he had for him.
