event depicts the innate inheritance of the order by Sadeddin Cibavi directly from Our Prophet (mPbuH). The details of this event were later to become elements that determined the character, modus and practices of the Sadiyye Order.

After this event, Sadeddin went to Mecca where he started to traverse the path of the Order and finished his education on Sufism at the side of his father Yunus esh-Sheybanî, founder of the Sheybaniyye branch of the Medyeniyye order. After receiving the mantle of the Order from his father, he returned to Ceba, where he constructed a mosque and a hermitage, and set about his duties for the Order.28

Oruc Bey was the Sheikh of these six29 orders and known as ‘Sheikh Ezel’ (The Eternal Sheikh).
