I read, O judge, I read doctrines, but you did not understand, O judge, the symbols of our doctrines. Your doctrine suits some of our religion, and your doctrine impresses you when we say it. We crossed the receding seas behind us, and the jurists did not know where we were heading. We settled in a valley called Al-Fada', and the valley became too narrow for us, and we were in our narrowness. We settled near Al-Qab, a spirit from the world, and we saw other suns that brought out the sun of our light. My brother debated this great verse, which was not achieved by anyone except Al-Jalil, Al-Darwī, and Al-Rifāʿī, and it came from a man who had read nothing, and he recounted that Sheikh Taj al-Dīn, may God be pleased with him, when he wanted to travel to the Hijaz, gathered the poor and said to them: I came from Baghdad for the sake of this boy, so be respectful for his visit. Your book is with me. Then he said to him: Muhammad, my son, is seven years old, neither worldly nor religious. After that, the world and religion will come to you, and you will reside in a land called Al-Nādirah, Sulūkah, and Dulūkah, and the wealth of the Hijaz and Yemen will be gathered there. Then he traveled and left him. His Sheikh's disciples were eager for him, like their Sheikh, because the Sheikh comes every year to visit him. And when he enters Sennar, he walks with him. The Sheikh is amazing. The first thing he does when he enters, and the age of Al-Nadirah prevents the beating of the drums, when he enters, he takes off the king's clothes and puts on the robe of Sheikh Taj al-Dīn. For seven years, he built him a khalwa in his dwelling, where he prays and serves the wife of his Sheikh, because Sheikh Taj al-Dīn married a woman from the king and had daughters from her. When the seven years were completed, a strong wind came to him at night, and he was not prepared. Peace be upon him. And he ordered him to follow him. So his Sheikh came and gave him permission. And he was there when a shipment of robes was brought to him. Then his Sheikh came and gave him permission. And he was there when a shipment of robes was brought to him. The world and the hereafter are from that day. He devoted himself to it, to the books of jurisprudence, the Risalah, and the science of Tawhid. One of them explains the other, and he answers.

After that, Al-Mandarah appeared with the permission of his Sheikh, and he died there and was buried there, and his grave is a pilgrimage destination. He is Awad al-Ghar al-Awadi, and his mother is Karīshah bint Al-Hajj Mīdo Al-Dabībīyah, Tīlī. He followed the path of Sheikh Abdullah Al-Arki and studied jurisprudence with him in the books of jurisprudence, the Risalah, and the science of Tawhid. When death approached Sheikh Abdullah, he was asked who the successor would be after him. He said: Awad, and his sons. Sheikh Abdullah's sons, Idris, were given the caliphate, the banners, the drums, and the books. Their ancestors were the Sultanate, the robe of Sheikh Abdullah Al-Ajami, and his dwelling, and he took his place. And the Riyadhs and entering the khalwas.
