Sheikh Hasan ibn Sheikh ‘Adī II (Kurdish: Şêx Hesen or Şêx Sin) is a holy and historical figure in that is revered in Yazidism and considered the physical or earthly incarnation of Melik Şêxsin,[1] one of the Seven Divine Beings to whom God assigned the World's affairs.
[6] More significantly, the growing political influence of Şêx Hesen and the community which was dominated by local Kurds led to unease amongst their neighbors.
The result of this was a crackdown on the community, and under the order of the Atabeg of Mosul, Badr al-Din Lu'lu', Şêx Hesen and two hundred of his followers were executed.
The forces of Badr al-Din Luʾluʾ entered the temple of Lalish, had the bones of Sheikh Adi exhumed and burned.
In response, Yazidis regained control of Hakkari and the Bahdinan region which included Dasin Mount, from Badr al-Din's forces during the reign of Şêx Hesen's successor, Sharfadin.
