The Malay Annals records that Abdul Jamil was the Pahang ruler concerned, but historians like Linehan and Khoo suggested the happenings occurred during the reign of his uncle, Sultan Ahmad.[23] Sultan Ahmad abdicated in favour of his young son Raja Mansur who assumed the title Sultan Mansur Shah.[24] The new Sultan was placed under the guardianship of his uncles, sons of the first Sultan. In describing Ahmad Shah's life after the abdication, the Malay Annals noted: "his highness went upstream for so long as the royal drums could be heard; when he came to Lubuk Pelang there he resided, and the sound of the drums was no longer heard. He went into religious seclusion; he it is whom people call Marhum Syeikh.[25]
