And the camels' humps were struck, and people agreed with him. Among those who took an oath of allegiance to him from the notables were Sheikh Dafa Allah, son of Sheikh Abu Idris, the jurist Abd al-Rahim, son of Sahar, and the sons of Biri: the jurist Ali, Ibrahim, and Tur al-Mutan al-Kahili al-Burqani (he is buried in front of his grave). Among them were the three sons of al-Tangar: Muhammad, Mazri, and Madani al-Hajr, son of his brother Haj Omar, and the son of Haj Abu - (1) three, and in a copy, his brother. He was righteous and virtuous and died a week after his uncle, and he had no offspring at all. Hajj Hams, and only three days later. He begot the jurist Bilal, and the sons of Sheikh Saghirun bin Sarhan: the jurist al-Zayn, Ibrahim al-Hurr, and Bakr. He had three daughters (1). Rab'a, whom Madani al-Hajr, son of his nephew Omar, married, and Hajjah, for lack of benefit. She married Muhammad bin al-Tangar, son of his sister Amnah, and Zainab, whom Muhammad bin Haj Abu al-Qasim, his brother, married. (2) Umm Marhi, in the land of al-Jazira, towards al-Ya'qubi. He died and was buried in al-Qoz, and his grave is visible and visited, and prayers are made for rain by his grace, may God have mercy on him and benefit us by his blessings. Sheikh al-Tayyib bin al-Bashir, a student of Sheikh al-Sammani, was there. He moved and settled in the northern part of Khartoum, naming it after the place. He followed the path of Sheikh Idris and loved Sheikh Hassan, Abd al-Razzaq, and Basbar. Biri was born in al-Fahl, Shandi, and settled in Umm Marji (2). His grave is there, near the well of al-Mayyah. He was there, and the divorced woman, thrice without a husband, could remarry her. Sheikh Abd al-Qadir bin Sheikh al-Aysar, may God be pleased with him, denied this to him and said to him, "All people consider them our children." He said to him, "Ask your mother." So he asked her, Tahirah, about it, and she told him, "Your father divorced me three times. I remained unmarried for eight years, then my father Saghirun took me back, and I became pregnant with Bakr." Then Sheikh al-Qadir said, "We have returned to you." I laughed. The jurist Abd al-Rahim said, "I traveled to Dakhla to visit Sheikh Ibn Isa. One day, I smelled my camel and went out into the wilderness. Fate threw me into a valley with trees and abundant grass. As I walked in that wilderness from the beginning of the day until near noon, I saw a large caravan in the wilderness. I said, 'I will go to it, perhaps I will find someone to guide me to the road.' When I reached it, I found a large mosque with a man. Then I found a naked man. When the time for prayer came, the naked man from all lands, each taking a handful from a bag, tied to the ceiling. He brought me with him to the night prayer, and he gave me and wiped it with his hand, and it became sweeter than Saghirun. Sheikh al-Tayyib took many people, including Sheikh al-Haj Hamad, Abd al-Hamad, al-Bashir, and Sheikh al-Qurashi in al-Khilawin, and al-Mahdi, who rose in Sudan in the year 1297. It is not the offspring of Sheikh al-Qurashi, and he is the one upon whom the dome was built, and God knows best. He said, "Is there anyone to guide me?" At prayer time, he prayed with them. He wrote a piece of bread with its sauce, green. So I ate from it and the honey. Then he said to me, "Get up." And I saw many pearls like a path.
