Al-Mi'dhana Al-'Ateeqa was a small mosque in Baghdad, located in the Sharqiyah sub-district of Karkh.
History[edit | edit source]
In the 860s, the Alamut Hidden One Basim ibn Ishaq came across a crowd of children surrounding the mosque, looking up to a young boy standing near the edge of a platform. Heading up to investigate, Basim spoke to the boy named Hytham, who idolized the Hidden Ones and hoped to join them. Revealing that he had climbed up the minaret to perform the Hidden Ones' traditional dive known as the Leap of Faith, Hytham struggled with the move as he had never seen it performed in front of him.[1]
Basim volunteered to demonstrate a Leap of Faith for him and landed in a haystack below. Hytham followed his example and jumped off the minaret, landing in the same spot. As Basim praised Hytham for being a quick learner, the boy deduced that Basim was a Hidden One and asked to become his pupil. While Basim did not see himself as a teacher, he was encouraged by Hytham praising him as a leader by example, and told the boy to seek him out when he was older.[1]
