Many of the Banu Jarar. As for his neighbors, Shukur Allah and Abd al-Kafi, and Muhammad, son of Kuraib, from the intensity of their obedience to him, if he told them to move a mountain, they would move it. And the matter was that his affairs were handled without authority, and he would say something and it would not be obeyed without proof. And if he gave an answer, no one dared to argue with him. As for his followers from the women, they were many times more numerous than the men. Farara said to his disciple, "Our father, O Dalgah, may God curse the opinion and the correct, the well-written." "Our father, the prohibition of water, and their elders, our father, the empty food, Qana Yar." And the saying of the Sheikh, "And the completion of my affairs, actions, including wearing the necklace and the embroidered garments, and weaving the hair of his she-camel with a rope, and making the nose-ring for him, desiring to live by it. And he said, 'Three things are sufficient for the soul: and the scarcity of lawful earnings in our time, and following the righteous predecessors.' And among them, his cultivated land was seized by the Sultanate for half the produce. He collected the leaves and pods, and the poor man divided half of it to the Sultanate. He perpetuated it, and the Sheikh of the Dar took it and gave it to Sheikh Ajib, son of Al-Ujail. He said to him, 'What is this?' He said, 'A poor man brought it, called the son of Umm Maryam, a Sufi man. He said the Dar was given as charity to him.' And among them, he built a wall between his farm and his neighbor's farm so that his neighbor's crops would not fall into his land. And a similar story was mentioned by Sheikh Abd al-Wahhab al-Sha'rani in the Tabaqat al-Awliya' wa al-Awlad that a man came to al-Hasan al-Basri and said to him, 'Will you teach me the Wudru'?' He said to him, 'Go to Kufa, there is a man whose cow has not had its leg dirtied by the mud of his neighbor's land.' He traveled to him and said to him, 'My brother, the Wudru' for the cow entered my neighbor's land and its leg was dirtied by the mud of someone else's land.' And among them, he descended upon his cultivated land, with one of his wives suffering there, descending into a cliff the size of the cultivated area, and the other in Abu Najilah, I will inform you, the closer one to cultivation, and the farther one. We spent the night in cultivation. We said the closer one to the grandmother. His companions said to him, 'This tree is halfway between the two travelers.' So, on the night of the woman of the cultivated land, she stayed in the upper part of the tree, and on the night of the traveler, she stayed in the lower part, until a man came with a need and asked for it to be fulfilled the next day. He said to him, 'You came to us when we were in the upper part of the tree. The night of 'Aqbah, daughter of Said, and tonight, daughter of Masrah, traveler. Then on the night of 'Aqbah, daughter of Said, we have made it clear to you.' And among them, when he settled in a land and the people became numerous, he would move away. And if he wanted to build a house, he would order the cutting of branches and reeds and lead to make them equal in length and width. And if he found in one of them a flaw or negligence, he would order the cutting of its edge. The houses are like blackness in the earth, each one carrying the other. The houses of the believers. And if he went out at night, two of them would emerge from it, a thief and a stranger. The house would appear and be protected so that the house of his co-wife would not be seen.
