Forty-two He sent to Khartoum his punishment, so the people of Al-Arbab Abd al-Salam preceded them and fell upon Sheikh Badawi. The messengers came to the Sheikh and found him sitting on a bedstead, holding a thick rosary with fifty beads. They said to him, "The King's companion, may his eloquence be nullified." The Sheikh said to them, "We have no power to seek help from eloquence; God knows and is a witness." They came seeking the house and said to him, "You are not the King, you guard him with blackness." So they were defeated, and the cattle in the flock fell. They drove them in the evening. The cattle became agitated, raised their tails, and returned to their pastures. Hama followed them, so they returned disappointed by the blessing of Sheikh Badawi. And from this, a man from his companions, called Walad Jamus, brought a herd to Sinnar, sold it, filled a bag with its price, and went to cool off in the river. He forgot the bag, and Sheikh Badawi remembered it. When he came to the Sheikh, the bag came out to him from under the carpet and he gave it to him. And from this, Sheikh Sharaf al-Din came in a pregnant she-camel, and his bewildered followers stopped the dhikr during the day, and the singer sang with the words of Sharaf al-Din. A man from the Batani tribe came and brought the words of Sheikh Badawi, so Sharaf al-Din's bewildered followers poked him, and he cried out and said: "O father, people eat me, the secret is nullified by the grapes." "If you do not reach this level, you will not reach the level of the liars." The sky thundered and said, "Kaa kaa." So Sheikh Sharaf al-Din ordered them to stop the dhikr. And from this, that Sheikh Hada, when he wanted war, sent Abd al-Samad to Sheikh Badawi to carry the burden of victory for him. Abdullah, son of Badawi, said: He gave me a name and told me to perform ablution and recite it in a secluded place. It will appear to you. He told me: I went and recited the name, and I heard a caller saying: "A nation that remained in darkness for ages, as if they were the destroyers of pleasures, are safe from them." "Until what they have comes to them, which cannot be repelled, and they become rich, except for their homes." Sheikh said to Abd al-Samad, after his son Abdullah informed him of what happened after reciting the name: "What is it with you? Victory for the one with a heavy sin? Does the Messenger, may God's prayers and peace be upon him, carry it? And the one with a light sin, we the poor carry it." And from this, a woman came to him and said to him: "I have children who sleep with a cow. She went to adorn herself." So he sent a poor man to her and said to him: "Tell her, the poor man Badawi told you, you have sinned, and sin necessitates slaughter and sale. But you stopped, and you abandoned that." And when he approached death, he said: "O my daughters, I will bring you to the Day of Resurrection." He died in the year eighteen after one thousand two hundred, and in that year Al-Samih killed Shandi. Barakat bin Hamad bin Sheikh Idris followed the path of Imam Ali bin Abi Talib.
