On the Blue Nile, in the English-Egyptian government, there is a district center, a Sharia court, and two large government mosques, one for the merchants of Al-Badr, and one for Uthman Ziyad. I was informed that there is a zawiya of Al-Bushi, may God have mercy on him, with an emirate administrator, a scribe, and the tomb of Sheikh Muhammad Madani bin Dushain, the ancestor of the Madaniyin, after whom the town is named. Also, Sheikh Saad Ay, and Sheikh Muhammad Walad Kinan, the owner of the Risala, each have a dome.
Al-Adik is a town on the Blue Nile, on the bank. Wald Madani is a town on the Blue Nile, on the bank. Al-Adik on the Blue Nile. It was established by Sulaiman Al-Tahami, and it has a number of leaders, including Nur Abu Nakhira, Muhammad Walad Mahmoud, and Abdullah Walad Afas. He started it from the counting of the reeds and it is divided into three groups: merchants of Al-Badr, a group in Al-Arya', and a group holding the Al-Madarik. He said that when he arrived at Sheikh Ahmad Yasar, Abu Ahraz took a little, and the abundance was with him due to the large number of emirates. They slaughtered forty heifers and thirty cows, and the small animals were countless. All the ranks descended to Wald Madani, and the spear descended until the arrival of the poor. The faqih Wald Madani said, "We have no treachery, may God throw it at the old man of Al-Suhuf, named Faber." Then Dafa Allah, son of Sheikh Ahmad Tarifi, came to Sulaiman seeking a loan. He said, "The Sheikh said, 'Throw him at the chief of the Sufis.'" Then Sulaiman came and stayed in Al-Kullumul with Khalil Walad Afas, the chief of Al-Kullumul. He said to him, "This faqih, may God forgive him, has no royal money." He said, "He has no royal money for you to take from him. This is my misfortune." Then all the leaders stood up and left him, and they asked. After greeting, they waited a little, thinking. "I have no necklaces for you." Then he said to a faqih from the Faradiyin, "Abu Ibrahim, will you bring the advice?" He said, "I will bring it, O King." He said, "Who is sitting in front of you?" He said, "Sheikh Nur." The other said, "Nur Walad Abdullah." Sheikh Ahmad Abu Takhira laughed with Nur and the leaders. Then he said, "O Nur, will you bring the advice?" He said, "I will bring it." The faqih said, "My soul. What did they name him?" He said, "Sheikh Nail." The other said, "The King said, 'My son, the sons of Badi and their descendants are obedient, O Sheikh Nail.'" Sheikh Hadr said, "He is sick, he is sick." The faqih said, "Who told you that you have grown old?" Then he said, "O Sarib, the King's Arabs and all the Muslims are with you. Take from them and I will purify them. May God protect your well-being and your neighbors." He said to him, "Faber, you are burying me under you." He gritted his teeth, and his nose and ears twitched. He said to Sulaiman Al-Tahami, "Look at the sorcerer faqih. I told you before that he is a sorcerer and I killed him. I did not kill the son of Al-Hindi. You are in your wealth, the owner. You said, 'We will have the land and the completion.' Let the dust pass." The Sheikh said to him, "You opened me with a covenant." He ate all the food that day. I did not kill you with a full stomach, and I slept under the trees. Then Muhammad Walad Mahmoud came to Al-Bashata, and Uud and Nur to Al-Nuba, and Umra Al-Fara wrote them amulets and wrote him a nurse. The faqirs told him, "After these amulets, you cannot reach them." Then he ordered the town to be cleared. They brought seventy heads of cattle from the thrown spear, not including the chests, swords, tools, hooves, and legs. The people wailed and shouted, and they turned him.
