With his principles depending on Ahmet Yesevi, he became one of the most important figures who shaped Anatolian people’s perception of Islam. In other words, he is one of the fundamental building stones of Anatolian Islam. Hacı Bektâş Velî also wrote different works throughout his life. His works which are more about sufi culture are main sources of his ideas directly reflects. Makâlât, Besmele Tefsîri and Fatiha Tefsiri are some of them. Velâyetnâme which tells his life in a miracle language, includes important clues of Hacı Bektaş Velî’s life and teaching as well. In this study, it is evaluated on a booklet whose name is Emanet-i Hazret-i Pîr attributed to Hacı Bektâş Velî in recent search works. This work was identified as classification of manuscripts in the Library of Hacıbektaş. It is a difficult criticism and critiq of this work because there is not a different copy. This small booklet is transcribed by us to argue whether it belongs to Hacı Bektâş Velî or not in terms of style and content. In this context, it is expected that this booklet is not directly his work because of the general structure of the work and some expressions in style and content. The final analysis is understood that this work is compilation. With the general ideas of this work corresponding as the general Hacı Bektaş Veli’s ideas, it may be added by writer, with some insulting expressions of Hacı Bektaş Veli to make his teachings incompatible. With these uncertainties, this work seems likely to open debate on the topic.
