-38-A mercy from the desert, the Merciful has left behind, or a matter that has passed over women. By the oath in the companies of the people of Al-Hameer, their injustice, the crawling of Al-Kadakda, the firstborn who shed blood. Generosity and worship, others are not like them, Mecca is his council when a man is gathered. The second intention regarding the reason for his beginning, Sheikh Saleh said, Hamad Al-Sharif, the owner, told me. Sheikh Badawi and Muqri, his sons, said Sheikh Badawi, I inform you, O Yathrif, the reason for the beginning of my affair. My uncle, Sheikh Ali O Deliq, died. I gathered his followers, and we built a dome over him. After finishing it, I entered it for a forty-day retreat. During those days, Sheikh Idris died, and I was in retreat. I heard a caller say, "There is a trust with Sheikh Idris. Go to him and ask for it from him." I visited him repeatedly. So I traveled in poverty, to visit. Come, Hamad, our son, is traveling to Sennar, the place of injustices and surveillance. At that time, we set off and reached Sheikh Hassan. He said, "To Sennar, the place of injustices and surveillance." At that time, we set off and reached Sheikh Hassan. The promise. He said, "Less than my provisions, your hospitality is over the fire." I said, "We are permitted." He said, "Yes, by God, we are permitted." So we promised him. And I traveled. Upon our arrival, we found Hamad preparing for travel. As soon as he saw me, he descended and said to me, "Son of the Sheikh, your father has come." I said, "I am a visitor." So I washed my clothes and bathed and entered the dome. I was sleeping for two years. I saw the dome filled with saints, whom I did not recognize among them except for four: Sheikh Idris, Sheikh Hassan, Sheikh Abdul Qadir, and Sheikh Ezz Al-Rizq. My Sheikh Al-Zein attended. So they asked him, "What brought you?" He said to them, "I am his Sheikh in knowledge." So they seated me on a golden chair and dressed me in a golden bracelet. They brought me whips of 'Anj. So Sheikh Abdul Qadir said to Sheikh Idris, "Give him your fire." So Sheikh Idris handed me a stick in the dome. His head was smoking, and they said to him, "Give him his sword and your sword, and the sword of your power." He brought both. I took them, made of gold. Then he said to the crowd, "Accept them." They said to him, "I have refused myself." I heard the noise in the dome. I traveled during the life of Sheikh Hassan, and after his death, I frequented the fire and its embers at noon. The litanies of the sea and lit them in a strange silence. I saw the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, say to me, "Settle down. The land, be red with the people, be red. I uprooted the Najafah, and the people are red. I built a retreat. In front of the Rakoobah, a man from Al-Marqoomab killed the son of Sheikh Naam Al-Battahin, and the man came to me. I brought him into the retreat and sat in the Rakoobah. They entered upon him and killed him, and Sheikh Naam said to me, "You have become arrogant with tears. And you have made a place for yourself. They set fire to the retreat. It was not eaten. I said, "These people do not settle."
