Sheikh Ahmad al-Tayyib b. al-Bashir was the founder-sheikh who brought and spread the Sammaniyya order in Sudan, the order from which the later Mahdist movement emerged. Born c. 1155 AH (1742-43), he died in 1239 AH (1824). He is recorded as buried in the village of Umm Marrih, about 40-50 km north of Omdurman.
