Terjemahan Buku "Tuanku Nan Renceh" Halaman 112-119

The story of the death of the important Paderi figure, Tuanku Nan Renceh, has several other versions, including:
1. Tuanku Nan Renceh died during the Paderi War and was taken to Kampung Bansa, then buried in Kampung Pisang, Jorong Bansa.
2. Tuanku Nan Renceh died after being attacked by enemies. It is said that during his life, no enemy could approach or defeat him. Therefore, his enemies used various methods to find a way to approach him in large numbers, each holding a long bamboo pole. They surrounded him and tried to knock him down with the poles. After he fell, they wounded him with sharp razors until he died.
3. Tuanku Nan Renceh died from a mystical attack or black magic (santet) by his enemies. Santet is a form of sorcery involving demons. He died in Surau Mejan-Bansa and was buried on the ancestral land of Dt. Mangkudun, of the Pisang clan.
4. The story of Tuanku Nan Renceh's death began with his illness after returning from a battle assisting Tuanku Imam Bonjol. A guest, unknown to him, visited him, bringing the Quran and a staff. It is believed that this guest was a Dutch agent posing as a student of Tuanku Nan Renceh. This guest observed his face in detail. After this meeting, it is said that in Baso, the Dutch and their followers made a statue resembling Tuanku Nan Renceh and used it for a mystical attack. With the use of spiritual incantations, they attacked him, and while he was herding ducks near Surau Mejan, he collapsed and died.
5. Some believe that Tuanku Nan Renceh died from illness, not from any other causes or battle with the Dutch.

Though there are various versions of the story of Tuanku Nan Renceh's death, we must believe that Allah's will had determined his fate. Thus, Tuanku Nan Renceh passed away. One thing that remains in our hearts is that the fighting spirit and many positive values were taught by Nyiak Enceh (Tuanku Nan Renceh).
