Abed was a mystic, who was concerned with the restoration and cleaning of the mosque, and took his shelter at the bottom of the minaret of the mosque and remained so until his death in 695 Ah, he was buried next to the mosque, and built on his tomb a mausoleum surrounded by a small mosque,  which was renewed several times, until it became in a completely modern form that does not belong to the archaeological form.
