Yunus Emre, a student of Tapduk Emre, spread what he learned from his teacher, whom he had served at his door for forty years, to a wide geography, and spoke of him with praise, saying, "You have reached the hands we have reached, the hearts that are happy - You are the people of Tapduk, alhamdulillah."
