Some of them are still engraved in the collective memory of Moroccans and became an infernal and spiritual symbol. This article sheds light on one of the Moroccan societies, especially the Tadli society between the 16th and 17th centuries. These righteous people seek to achieve psychological comfort and stop the suffering of Tadlipeople for reasons including that are linked to natural, economic, social or political conditions, as well as in order to raise the level of religiosity and moral protection. Some of them benefited financially in the form of gifts, charity, etc., and the other took advantage of them in order to strengthen their presence and political influence.
