Al-Hasan, and entered the Khatmiyya order. The personality of Abu Bakr Muhammad Al-Mutaridh, son of Abu Al-Ma'ali bin Hamad, son of Umm Maryam, was a righteous man and a teacher of the Quran. He traveled with Al-Hasan on his tours throughout Sudan and finally settled in the Masawwi region in northern Sudan, where he married. Masawwi became a center for the Khatmiyya. It was in Masawwi that Sayyid Ali bin Sayyid Muhammad Othman (Al-Aqrab) was born. Among the personalities who lived during the time of Al-Hasan and had the deepest connection with him was Sheikh Al-Kabashi. Al-Hasan visited Sheikh Al-Kabashi's village many times, and Sheikh Al-Kabashi held him in the highest esteem and respect. The connection between the followers of the two men remained strong and continuous even after their deaths. It is said that when Sheikh Al-Kabashi heard of the death of Sayyid Al-Hasan, he locked himself in his room for seven days and said to his followers, "Those whom God created for this world have left it, so what is left for us?" He then died after him in the month of Safar. There was also a great and strong connection between Al-Hasan and Sheikh Al-Ubaid Badr. Al-Hasan had a close relationship with the Sammaniyya order and used to visit the spiritual center of the Sammaniyya order in Umm Marhi, north of Omdurman. It is mentioned in "Azahir Al-Riyadh" that Al-Hasan followed the Sammaniyya order and practiced it, just as he followed the Khatmiyya order.

He gained fame and renown. Mr. Reid narrated that Sheikh Al-Ubaid came and established his mosque in Umm Dhaban around 1281 AH. He met Sayyid Muhammad Othman Al-Mirghani (Al-Khatm), who prophesied to him that he would establish a mosque for the Quran in Sudan, and this mosque would be in a place with a sidra tree full of flies. The prophecy came true, and the place was named Umm Dhaban. The Mahdi supported him, although he was not one of his believers. The Mahdi benefited greatly from this apparent support and requested a meeting with him, but they did not meet. See: Ahmad Othman Muhammad Ibrahim, Al-Jazira during the Mahdiyya, pp. 21-22. Sheikh Ahmad Al-Tayyib bin Al-Bashir (1270-1320 AH/1853-1902 AD), founder of the Sammaniyya order in Sudan, buried in Umm Marhi, 10 kilometers north of Omdurman. He took this order from his teacher Muhammad bin Abdul Karim Al-Samman in Medina. (See: Abdul Mahmoud Dhur Al-Daim, Al-Manaqib Al-Sughra for Sheikh Ahmad Al-Tayyib bin Al-Bashir).
