Sayyid Abu Bakr Al-Aidarus (saint) - Death and Legacy

Death and Legacy

Abu Bakr's death in 1508 (although some source suggested that he died in 1503) was greatly mourned by the Adenis. The city residents published copies of obituaries commemorating the life of Abu Bakr, and an account of Abu Bakr's birthplace, Tarim was also published. His grave has since been visited by thousands of Muslim pilgrims every year who continue to pay their respects.
