One of the soldiers of God and the Muraiq was transgressing upon the grave of the Prophet, peace be upon him. And he was not reading as his grandfather Sheikh Muhammad Al-Haim was, for he read up to "and when the earth quakes." When his father Sheikh's death approached, he asked him, "Who is the successor after you?" He said, "The cowherd." This was because he was busy with the care of the cows. And Qais, the dark-faced one, and his brothers, the sons of Sheikh Muhammad Al-Haim Al-Safi and Mustafa, were scholars and memorizers. And his son Sharif was a scholar and memorizer. He did not point to any of them. They said, "Our elder Sheikh, who knows God best, if there was good in him, he would have appointed us." He said to them, "The true saint guides when he is in need, and he is concerned with his own affairs." He drew him close and said to them, "Al-Mandi is with him, and whoever opposes the Caliphate, let him oppose me in my grave." Sheikh Abdul Razzaq Abu Qurun attended the death of Sheikh Ali and left behind Al-Junaid. He said to him, "Uncle, I do not know the knowledge." He said to him, "Rejoice in good, you have settled and stayed." So Sheikh Al-Junaid took the place of his father Sheikh Ali in the path and the upbringing of the Murids and their guidance. And he was given complete acceptance by the special and the general. And Dafa Allah bin Sheikh Zain Al-Abidin informed me that his grandfather Sheikh Abdul Rahman bin Sheikh Dafa Allah, when death approached them in Biela, during a gathering, did not bequece his son Sheikh Abu Al-Qasim Al-Junaid. He said, "When his father returned from the gathering, he went up and greeted him and said to him, 'Welcome, Zain Al-Abidin, my father, and your father's will is as if it were absent.'" Then the muezzin came and prayed a light prayer. I disapproved of it in my heart. He turned to me and said, "O Zain Al-Abidin, when you sit with people, restrain yourself. Do not talk to the scholars, for their hearts are veiled from God Almighty." And Al-Junaid died and was buried with his father.

Abu Daleeq – his name was Ali, the son of Sheikh Badawi. He followed the path of the people, Ali the son of Sheikh Salman Al-Tawali. And he cut off to God and wore the jibbah and the dalqeen. And he was named Abu Daleeq and was named the Scorpion's Tail because he could not bear the affairs of the oppressors, and he was quick to harm them. And he followed and guided. And whoever took the path of the people upon him was through his brother Sheikh Badawi. And he had sons: Hussein, Aisha, and when death approached, they asked him, "Who is the Caliph in your place?" He said to them, "Bashti Aisha." And Sheikh Badawi married her, and from her were born Al-Naqr, Sheikh Madawi, Abdullah, and Taj Al-Din. And Yass and Nar Sheikh Badawi depended on them. And he died and was buried in Al-Najma, and his grave is visible and visited. And his sons are from God. And they were people of piety and righteousness. Al-Dhirr was a judge under Al-Fawj. And their news was unknown. Sheikh Idrees drew attention to them and visited their graves and urged people to visit them. It is said that the whole country used to follow them and gather to pray with them from the Sabani to the Ithna. And the Caliphate was for prayer behind them.
