Image Evolution
Scientists believe that Arystan Bab is a semi-legendary figure of Kazakh mythology. His initial cult was associated with water sources and forces of nature. In its subsequent development, he went through four stages [3] [4] .
Stage One
At first, the image survived the influence of the Kakhtanite (South Arabian) tradition. In the resulting version of the myth, Arslan Bab was a tribe of the prophet Hood , was of tremendous growth and lived 340 years. He knew the basics of 33 religions and eventually preferred Islam [3] [4] .
Second Stage
The period of influence of the Shiite sect of the Kaysanites made Arslan Bab a descendant of Imam Muhammad ibn al-Hanafiyah (636-701), the son of Imam Ali , and endowed the title " women " (which means a person with extraordinary knowledge) [3] [4] . For example, this version is supported by Molla Musa Sairami , the author of the treatise "History of the Kashgar rulers" and a direct descendant of Arslan Bab [5] [6] . According to the genealogy compiled by him, the saint is at the same time the uncle of his disciple Khoja Ahmed Yasawi [7] [8] .
Third Stage
Samarkand theologian Najmuddin al-Nasafi (1067-1042) reports that in the XI century an associate of the prophet named Yahya ibn Nastur ar-Rumi lived in Farab . He was more than 340 years old, he transmitted 14 hadiths directly from Muhammad [9] [3] [4] . In accordance with a widespread legend, Arslan Bab personally received from the hands of the prophet rags and one date indicating ( amanat ) to pass them to Khoja Ahmed, the son of Shaykh Ibrahim, who should be born in Sairam [10] .
Stage Four
At the last stage, Arslan Bab becomes a mentor to Khoja Ahmed Yasawi (1103–1166), the founder of the influential Sufi tariqah Yasaviy [9] [3] [4] . According to one version, the saint was the eldest of the sheikhs of Yasa and became the first teacher for young Ahmed, who later continued his education with Yusuf Hamadani in Bukhara [11] [12] .
Memory
He was buried in the mausoleum of the same name in the city of Otrar (now the village of Shaulder, Turkestan region of Kazakhstan). Visiting the mausoleum and spending the night at the grave of Arslan Bab is one of the main stages in making a pilgrimage ( ziyarat ) to the mausoleum of Ahmed Yasavi in the city of Turkestan . Two more holy places with his name are known: one in the Bazar-Korgon district of the Jalal-Abad region of Kyrgyzstan (in 2003 a genealogy document issued by the direct descendants of Arslan Bab was discovered there), and the other in the lower Syr Darya [13] .
