History
In the 860s, the 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 tower's platform. Heading up to investigate, Basim spoke to the boy named Hytham, who idolized the Hidden Ones for they were the ones who had avenged his mother and not the caliph and his men. Regarding the Hidden Ones as protectors of the people and wishing to join them, Hytham hoped to gain their attention by performing their traditional dive known as the Leap of Faith; however, he was unable to due to not having seen the move done in front of him.[1]
Basim volunteered to demonstrate the Leap to Hytham and dived into a cart of haystack below, inspiring Hytham to do the same. After getting out of the cart unharmed, Hytham realized that Basim was one of the Hidden Ones he revered and asked to become his pupil. Basim did not see himself as a teacher, but Hytham praised him as a leader by example, which caused the Hidden One to tell the boy to seek him out once he was older.[1]
