In the later decades of the fifteenth century, adherents of the Safavid order started raiding the regions of the northern Caucasus and eastern Anatolia. As most of these raids involved Christian principalities, they have earned the Safavid shaikhs Joneyd and Haydar the reputation as ghāzis, as fighters for faith against the infidels. This paper explores how scribes from the sixteenth-century Safavid courtly sphere integrated the order’s early military activities into their narratives of the Safavid past. Further, it examines what sound information may be derived from the narratives on these poorly documented events. The paper concludes with the suggestions that a) those doing in history in Safavid times were much less concerned with Islamic “holy war” than modern historians are, and b) their narratives indicate that attempts to establish territorial rule may have outweighed the fight-for-faith motif.

在15世纪后期，萨法人的信徒开始袭击北高加索地区和安纳托利亚东部地区。由于这些袭击大多涉及基督教公国，因此他们赢得了萨法维派教徒乔伊德（Joneyd）和海达尔（Haydar）的ghāzi声望。s，作为反对异教徒的信仰斗士。本文探讨了来自16世纪萨法维德宫廷领域的抄写员如何将该命令的早期军事活动纳入他们对萨法维德过去的叙述中。此外，它研究了从这些文献记载不充分的事件的叙述中可以得出哪些声音信息。本文的结论是：a）在萨法维德时期从事历史工作的人比现代历史学家对伊斯兰“圣战”的关注要少得多，并且b）他们的叙述表明建立领土统治的企图可能超过了争取斗争的目的。 -信仰主题。
