The first one lasts long until some people say that he has died, some say that he has been killed and others say that he has gone. None of his companions will still believe in him except a very few people. No one knows his place except the guardian, who manages his affairs.â If there is no any other tradition narrated about the disappearance except this one, it will be sufficient for whoever ponders on it.
