Works written in Eastern Turkic in Central Asia are of great importance in the field of Islamic Turkic Literature. Some of these works were written in the type of doctrine and some of them were written in the type of legend. Hagiographies have been the subject of many researchers, especially in the fields of language, literature, theology and history, both in terms of language and content. The sūfī-poet Hodja Ahmad al-Yasawī (d. 562/1166), who was the founder of the Yasawī tariqa (order), had an important place in the spread of Islam among the Central Asian Turks, who deeply affected the religious-mystical life of the society. He spread Islam in the Turkestan region with his educative and instructive poems in the style of wisdom, which he said in a way that the people and his followers could understand. By followers, the Yasawī order spread to Khorasan, Azerbaijan and Anatolia from the southwest of Turkestan through the Kipchak dervishes, first starting from the Transoxiana area. In Central Asia, there are many legends about Hodja Ahmad al-Yasawī’s legends and miracles, and his followers and dervishes also have miracles. Although there are some differences between them, these religious, mystical characters still preserve themselves in the life and belief of the people of the region. One of them is the legend of Sultan Hubbi (Hubbī), the son of Süleyman Bakırgani, known as Hakīm Ātā, one of the first successors of Hodja Ahmad al-Yasawī. The legends of Sultan Hubbi is mentioned in the studies of researchers such as N. Tosun, Ö. Kaya and Kazakhstani researchers S. Kondybai, F. Kamalova. Our research is based on the Chagatai manuscript of the Sultan Hubbi legend found in Kazakhstan. The life, miracles of Sultan Hubbi, the 3rd son of Hakīm Ātā Süleyman Bakırgani, who played an important role in the spread of the Yasawī order in Mangistau and according to some researchers, in Turkmensahra, with the underground mosque, valley and well of Sultan Hubbi in Mangistau. It is aimed to give information about the common rumours. In this direction, the methods of compiling, examining, translation and evaluation of scientific studies and articles published on the subject will be used. Our aim is to introduce the Almaty/Kazakhstan with the copy of the Kıssa-i Sultan Hubbi manuscript, which is one of the historical texts written in Eastern Turkic (Chagatai), which was not reached and unknown for a long time during the Soviet Union period, with the thought that it could contribute to the research of the Turkic world.
