The publisher's brief and series. The publisher's brief and series. I am Ibrahim Siddiq Ahmed Al-Saadlabi Al-Husseini, from Geziret Tuti, Maliki in doctrine, Ash'ari in creed, and Qadiri in method. I was born on Geziret Tuti in the year 1298 AH. After I memorized the Quran and whatever sciences God made easy for me, I entered the schools of the Sudan government in 1906 and graduated in 1906. I joined the judicial service as a judicial agent, then I was appointed a Sharia judge, and this continued until 1926 AD. In that year, I was retired from the Red Sea Province Court. The situation we are narrating is that of good deeds and my lineage, as I have transferred it from reliable sources, in accordance with the Noble Book and the Almighty God's saying: "O mankind, indeed We have created you from male and female and made you peoples and tribes that you may know one another." And He Almighty said: "And fear Allah, by whom you ask one another, and the wombs." And our master Omar bin Al-Khattab, may God be pleased with him, said: "Learn your genealogies." Nevertheless, the lesson is in piety, for no Arab has superiority over a non-Arab except by piety. God Almighty said: "Indeed, the most noble of you in the sight of Allah is the most righteous of you." And this is the lineage: I am Ibrahim, son of Siddiq, son of Ahmed, nicknamed Dawood, son of Muhammad, son of Idris, son of Issa, son of Siddiq, son of Ali, son of Raj'a, son of Ali, son of Siddiq, son of Ali Abu Ashba, son of Abdul Khaliq, son of Abdullah, son of Sulaiman, son of Saad Allah, son of Ajm, son of Zayed, son of Muhammad Mohsen, son of Marzouk, son of King Saad, son of King Jame', son of King Hassan, son of King Ahmed, son of King Amer, son of Abdul Karim, son of Abdullah, son of Yaqoub, son of Jaber, son of Saeed, son of Mousa, son of Owais, son of Jame' Sukkar, son of Salem, son of Abdul Rahman, son of Ali, son of Sulaiman, son of Muhammad, son of Zaid, son of Amara, son of Haritha, son of Ubada, son of Abi, son of Ka'b Al-Khazraji Al-Ansari Al-Badri, may God be pleased with him and benefit us by him, Amen.
