Özet:

 According to the Iraqi historian İmad Abdusselam Rauf, Adile Hatun married at the age of 15 in 1145 AH  1732 CE. Based on this information, Adile Hatun was born in Baghdad in 1130 AH  1717 CE. Her father, Ahmed Pasha, who served as the governor of Baghdad from 1724 to 1747 for two separate terms totaling 22 years, was knowledgeable, cultured, a lover of learning, and maintained close relationships with scholars. As a result, Adile Hatun grew up in this intellectual and cultural environment. Her contributions, including the construction of charitable and educational institutions such as mosques, madrasas, and libraries, as well as her support for students through the foundations she established, prove this background. Adile Hatuns husband, Suleyman Pasha, was known for his ability to carry out successful night raids, earning him the nicknames Ebu Leyle Master of Night Raids and The Lion. He served as the governor of Baghdad from 1750 to 1762. Süleyman Pasha, a former freed slave of Ahmed Pasha, who had governed Baghdad for around 22 years, became his son-in-law through his marriage to Adile Hatun. In such a position, Adile Hatun became a prominent figure in Baghdad. However, particularly foreign sources describe her as cruel, vindictive, and claim that she had some individuals killed to exact revenge. It is also suggested that she dictated decisions to her husband Süleyman Pasha and established an alternative system of governance. As a result, both she and Süleyman Pasha were criticized. This article investigates and analyzes the position of adile Hatun and her intervention in governance.

 Iraklı tarihçi, İmad Abdüsselam Raufa göre Adile Hatun, h.1145m. 1732 tarihinde 15 yaşında evlenmiştir. Bu bilgiye göre Adile Hatun, h.1130m. 1717 tarihinde Bağdatta doğmuştur. Adile Hatunun babası Bağdat Valisi Ahmet Paşa 1724- 1747 arası iki devre 22 yıl, bilgili, kültürlü, ilim sever ve ulemayla yakın ilişki içinde olduğundan Adile Hatun da bu ilmi ve kültürel ortamda yetişmiştir. Adile Hatunun cami, medrese, kütüphane vb. hayri ve eğitim müesseseleri inşa ettirmesi, talebelere kurduğu vakıflar aracılığıyla destek olması bu durumu kanıtlamaktadır. Adile Hatunun eşi Süleyman Paşa ise geceleyin başarılı askeri baskınlar yapabilme yeteneğinden dolayı Ebu leyle gece baskıncısı, Aslan gibi lakaplarla tanınmış ve 1750-1762 yılları arası Bağdat valiliği görevini üstlenmiştir. Süleyman Paşa, yaklaşık 22 yıl Bağdat valiliği yapan Ahmet Paşanın yetiştirdiği azatlı kölesi ve aynı zamanda kızı Adile Hatunla evlenmesinden dolayı da damadıdır. Böyle bir konumda olan Adile Hatun, Bağdatta etkili bir kişi olmuştur. Ancak özellikle yabancı kaynaklar kendisini zalim, kindar ve bazı şahsiyetlerden intikam almak için onları öldürttüğünü yazmaktadır. Bu gibi konuları kocası Süleyman Paşaya empoze ettiği ve alternatif bir idare kurduğu da söylenmektedir. Böylece hem kendisi yerilmektedir; hem de Süleyman Paşa tenkit edilmektedir. Bu makalede, Adile Hatunun konumu ve idareye müdahalesi konusu araştırılmış ve analiz süzgecinden geçirilmiştir.
