One famous disciple of Bamba, [[Ibrahima Fall]], was known for his dedication to [[God in Islam|God]] and considered work as a form of adoration. Fall was the one to introduce the conduct with which a disciple should interact with his Shaykh, based on the example of the Sahabas and concepts presented in the 49th chapter of the Quran [[Al-Hujurat]].<ref>{{cite book |last1=Fall |first1=Ibrahima |title=Jazbul Murid |website=Jazbul Murid |publisher=N/A, Manuscript}}</ref> Ibrahima Fall was responsible for guiding many of Bamba's more eccentric followers and new converts to Islam. His followers were the precursor to a subgroup of the Mouride brotherhood today referred to as the Baye Fall ({{langx|wo|Baay Faal}}), many of whom substitute hard labor and dedication to their marabout for the usual Muslim pieties.

Sheikh [[Ibrahima Fall]] was one of the first of Amadou Bamba's disciples and one of the most illustrious.<ref name="Savishinsky">Savishinsky, J. N. (1994) The Baye Fall of Senegambia: Muslim Rastas in the Promised Land? Africa: Journal International African Institute, 64, 211-219</ref> He catalysed the Mouride movement and led all the labour work in the Mouride brotherhood. Fall reshaped the relation between Mouride ''[[talibe]]s'' (disciples) and their guide, Amadou Bamba. Fall instituted the culture of work among Mourides with his concept of ''Dieuf Dieul'', ("you reap what you sow").<ref name="Origines">Les origines de Cheikh Ibra Fall (2000, December).

For this contribution, Serigne Fallou, the second ''Caliph'' (leader) after Amadou Bamba, named him "Lamp Fall" (the light of Mouridism).<ref name="Fallou">{{cite journal|last1=Ngom|first1=Fallou|title=Linguistic Resistance in the Murid Speech Community in Senegal|journal=Journal of Multilingual and Multicultural Development|date=June 2002|volume=23|issue=3|pages=214–226|doi=10.1080/01434630208666466|s2cid=143133134 }}</ref> In addition, Ibrahima Fall earned the title {{lang|ar|باب المريدين}} ''Bab al-Murīdīna'', "Gate of the Mourides."

The members of the Baye Fall dress in colorful ragged clothes, wear their hair in [[dreadlocks]] which are called ''ndiange'' ("strong hair"), which they decorate usually with homemade beads, wire or string. They also carry clubs, and act as security guards in the annual ''[[Grand Magal of Touba|Grand Magal]]'' pilgrimages to Touba. Women usually are covered in draping coverings including their heads and occasionally are known to wear highly decorative handmade jewelry made from household or natural items. In modern times the hard labor is often replaced by members roaming the streets asking for financial donations for their ''marabout''. Several Baye Fall are talented musicians. A prominent member of the Baye Fall is the Senegalese musician [[Cheikh Lô]].
