Alisher Navoi mentions Ahmed Yassavi in "Nasaimul-Muhabbat" and mentions him as "Shaykh ul-Mashayikh", "Qiblai prayer of the people of Turkestan". While giving information about his follower Sulayman Baqirgani, he cites an excerpt from his poetry, stressing that "Hakim was the language of wisdom" and that his wisdom was popular among Turks.
