A revered Islamic propagator in northern Cirebon; according to legend he came from the land of Sham (the Levant) and became a disciple and helper of Sunan Gunung Jati (Laduni.id; Kemenparekraf official tourism inventory). Tradition tells that his uncuttable long hair, which he tied up ("magelung"), led him to seek a master able to cut it, which Sunan Gunung Jati accomplished. In Cirebon tradition he is remembered alongside Nyi Mas Gandasari. His tomb complex in Karangkendal (Kapetakan, Cirebon), with the red-brick walls typical of Cirebon Sultanate figures and a sacred well ("Sumur Puser Bumi"), is a popular pilgrimage site. His biography is largely legendary and his death year is not firmly known.
