He was a man of piety, who lowered his gaze and was respected by the elders, Sheikh Badr, son of Um Bark, and the scholar Muhammad, son of Madani Tahir Al-Shaybiyyah, and the scholar Muhammad, son of Uwaydah, and Al-Musli, son of Abu Wunaysah Al-Saghir, and Sheikh Barakat, son of Hamad, son of Sheikh Adris, and the scholar Matwi, son of Madani, and many others. Time passed for them, and a student of knowledge came to him. When he realized that he was there for a meeting, he said to him, "Where is the one you want to travel to?" He replied, "My lord, I am from the Jinn." He said, "Show me the form in which God created you." He said, "My lord, do not reveal it." He showed him a finger, and the Sheikh was struck by it. He blew on it and made an appointment with him. His piety was such that he used to count the worldly words he spoke in a day by placing seven pebbles in his mouth. Every time he spoke a word, he would put one of the pebbles in his mouth. He had thirty-one daughters, and he used to attend to their lunch and dinner until they finished. He was so ascetic that he spoke of the unseen. He was a large man, and a man saw him in such a state of emaciation that he was neither eating nor drinking. He said to him, "A miracle of God, who perfected everything." The Funj, in the early days of their rule, imposed military tribute on the Arab tribes. Each tribe was to provide a measure of milk and a known number of people to be fed with unleavored bread on the first day of the month of Khilal Al-Qaddal. When the tribute arrived, they found milk and slaughtered calves. A woman went to the fight and found the barber taking her hair. She said, "O son of Ibrahim, your barber is neither fortunate nor happy for us to slaughter calves for a measure of milk. Hold him for a moment, for the hair has been cut by the razor, and it is the barber's hand." The king of the Funj heard this. He said, "The tribute from the Qaylah, and the message, and the interpretations, and the commentary on the Hadith." His student, Sheikh Muhammad, son of Hudu, praised him with a long poem, of which I remember a verse: "That is the Sheikh of Al-Hariri, that is the elixir of the wise, who revealed it when he was young." It is narrated that in the year 1095 AH, a drought occurred in Kordofan, and the scholar Joud Allah, son of Ammar, commentator of Al-Akhdhir, was there. When the drought ended, Nur, Abu Nakhayrah, and Sheikh Hamdan, son of Sheikh Yaqoub, said to the king Awans, son of Nasser, "May your life be long, who has a lamp that, if lit in his neighbor's house, would please him?" He said, "No." They said, "The son of Al-Faradi, a lamp lit in your house, is heard by your neighbor. If he takes it to his house, he will send you fifty measures of honey." He agreed and they settled him in Umm Talhah. Previously, he lived by the sea, and stayed there for four months, then he died there. They carried him and buried him in Al-Ghaybah with his father Al-Faradi and his grandfather Al-Musli Al-Kabir. It is said that his followers said to him, "My lord, we ask you to show us flying in the air." He flew with his wings in the air while people watched. Then he descended to his place. May God grant him salvation in this world and the hereafter.
