=== Ascendance to leadership ===
Osman became [[Emir]], or ''[[Bey]]'', upon his father's death around 1281.<ref name="shaw2"/> According to some historians, Osman's accession to power wasn't peaceful as he had to fight his relatives before he got hold of his clan's leadership. One of Osman's major rivals was his uncle [[Dündar Bey]], who might have plotted to kill his nephew or rebelled against him when the latter decided to attack a small Greek island. Dündar Bey saw that Osman's ambition as a threat that might put the whole clan in danger. However, Osman had to pull out his sword to kill his uncle for disobeying.<ref>{{Cite book|last=Sakaoğlu|first=Necdet|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=6WUMAQAAMAAJ&q=domani%C3%A7|title=Bu mülkün kadın sultanları: Vâlide sultanlar, hâtunlar, hasekiler, kadınefendiler, sultanefendiler|publisher=Oğlak Yayıncılık|year=2008|isbn=978-9-753-29623-6|location=Istanbul|pages=26|language=tr|trans-title=The Queen Women of the Sultanate: Vâlide sultans, wives, hasekis, women's children, sultan's children}}</ref>

In the ''[[w:tr:Velayetname|Vilayetname]]'', a book containing the narrations about [[Haji Bektash Veli]], Osman's younger uncle, was the one who became Bey after Ertuğrul's death. During that time, Osman and several other warriors started organizing raids on Byzantine lands adjacent to Söğüt, such as [[w:tr:Yarhisar, Yenişehir|Yarhisar]], [[Bilecik]], [[İnegöl]], and [[İznik]]. As a result, the Byzantine ''[[Tekfur]]'' (governor) of [[Bursa]] was provoked, and he sent envoys to the Seljuk Sultan [[Kayqubad III|Alâeddin Kayqubad III]], complaining about these constant assaults. Thus, the Sultan ordered Gündüz Alp to bring forth his young nephew to stand before him, and so Osman was arrested and sent to Konya. According to this narration, Sultan Kayqubad admired Osman's courage and deeds, and didn't wish to punish him, instead, Osman was sent to Ḥājī Baktāš Walī to consider his matter. Osman was warmly received by the Sufi mystic, who then ordered his release saying: "I have been waiting for someone like him for years". After that, Ḥājī Baktāš Walī wrapped Osman's head with the same [[Turban]] associated with Sufi sheikhs, and sent him back to Konya with a message to the sultan, asking that Osman to become the Kayı Emir. Thus, Osman became the clan's leader.<ref name="misbar">{{cite book|last1=Ibrāhīm|first1=Aḥmad Maḥmūd|url=http://almesbar.net/100/Ahmet-oct25.pdf|title=al-Islām al-muwāzī fī Turkiyā: al-Biktāshīyah wa-jadal al-taʼsīs|publisher=Al-Mesbar Studies and Research Center|year=2016|edition=1st|place=Dubai|page=4|language=ar|trans-title=Parallel Islam in Turkey: Bektashi Order and Janissary Supervision|chapter=ẓuhūr al-Biktāshīyah wa-al-ishrāf ʻalá al-Inkishariyya|access-date=20 September 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180920195452/http://almesbar.net/100/Ahmet-oct25.pdf|archive-date=20 September 2018}}</ref>
