Adi ibn Musafir (Kurdish: شێخ ئادی, romanized: Şêx Adî, Arabic: عَدِيُّ بْنُ مُسَافِرْ; born 1072–1078, died 1162)[1] was a Sunni Muslim sheikh who founded the Adawiyya order.

[15] He became well known in present-day Iraq and Syria and disciples moved to the valley of Lalish to live close to Sheikh Adi.

As people flocked to his residency in the hills, he would end up founding a religious order later referred to as al-'Adawiyya ('the followers of 'Adi').

[22] This hermitage within the Valley of Lalish, would continue to be occupied by his followers and his descendants until the present day despite periods of unrest, destruction, and persecution by outsiders.

[24] As the holiest site in the Yezidi religion, his tomb (marked by three conical cupolas) still attracts a great number of people even outside holy festivals and pilgrimages.

Nightly processions by torch light include exhibitions of the green colored pall, which covers the tomb; and the distribution of large trays with smoking harisa (a ragout with coagulated milk).
