This is a proud title that was later given to Khwaja Naqshband. Bahauddin Naqshband was tutored by several pirs during his lifetime. 

The first piri was Khoja Muhammad Babayi Samosi. The old sheikh entrusts the upbringing of this young murid to one of his deputies, Amir Sayyid Kulol. He gives permission to his student after teaching what he knows in the chapter of tariqat. In search of knowledge, Bahauddin went to Nakhab, i.e. modern Karshi, to Sheikh Qusam, one of the famous representatives of Yassawiya sect shaykhs. He will study from him for three months. Bahauddin's devotion to this pir was high, at the same time Qusam Sheikh recognized him as his own son, and because of his infinite respect for his murid, he lived in Bukhara until the end of his life and died there.
