Hatam Beig Ordoubadi was a famous and important personality in the Safavid era. He had several administrative positions and two high positions in the court. Initially he became Mostowfi al-Mamalek and then, Etemad al-Dowleh in Shah Abbas’s court. He held the position from 1000 AH to the end of his life. The term “The endowment of Etemad al-Dowleh” in the documents of Astan Quds Razavi refers us to the existence of an endowment that has not been mentioned in other historical documents. Applying the title Etemad al-Dowleh for an endowment among documents strengthens the hypothesis that we should know the endower one of the high ministers of the Safavid court. Considering the issue and posing some questions in this regard, this study focused on the related documents. Among the questions are the identification of the endower and the year in which the endowment has been done, the properties of the endowment and its uses permission. To do this, a descriptive-analytical method was used for examining 907 historical documents and sources from Safavid to Pahlavi eras. The results showed that the endower (waqef) is Hatam Ordoubadi and his endowment properties are the farm lands of Hatamabad, Shah Fil and Ghasem Abad, endowed for the maintenance and repairs of the dome and lighting of the holy shrine as well as the wages of the employees of the dome. There is no, however, any trace of the endowment deed. Moreover, examining the trajectory of the documents shows that through the history the name of the waqef and the farm of Hatamabad have been forgotten and the names of other waqefs have been recorded for the property document of this endowment. The documents entail some detailed information about the administration, the boundaries and the recording o of properties by Astan Quds Razavi regarding the incomes, expenses of incomes, the repairs, and handling complaints of tenants and residents in the farms. In addition to the mentioned details, the study showed that the properties of Hatem Beig’s endowments have undergone many changes, but they are held by Astan Quds Razavi and are administered according to rules of the endowments.
