He lived in the time of the king, who threw him behind Mount Qaf. And among his miracles, may God be pleased with him, that King Abd al-Salam expelled him from Sennar, and the king sent a letter with his eagle, saying to the people of Arbab Abd al-Salam: "You stood by Sheikh al-Badawi, the messenger of the Sheikh, a man sitting on a bed, holding a rosary a necklace with fifty beads." They said, "The king's servant is asking for an explanation." He told them, "We don't have it, we seek help from God." God knows and is a witness. They presented their request, saying, "The king's wealth is guarded by lions." They were defeated and found the cows and the young ones in their midst. They took them and headed off. When it was evening, the cows became frightened until they returned to their place. Indeed, no matter how much they tried to count them, they could not. So they returned disappointed. And among them, two men from his companions, called Ibn Jamoos, brought his harvest to Sennar, sold it, and collected the money in a bag. He went to walk by the sea, forgetting the bag. Sheikh al-Badawi knew. When he came to the Sheikh, he brought out the bag from under the carpet. And among them, Sheikh Sharaf al-Din came in a lost, bewildered state. The dhikr stopped during the day, and the singer sang the words of Sharaf al-Din. A man came to the plain and brought the words of Sheikh al-Badawi. They nudged the bewildered Sharaf al-Din, so he cried out and said: "By my father, people have eaten the secret of the wine with the foolishness of John. If I don't see these beards, I wouldn't have come out with the stubbornness of the stubborn." The sky thundered and lightened, and Sheikh Sharaf al-Din ordered them to stop the dhikr. And among them, Sheikh Ahmed Lad al-Harb sent Abd al-Samad to Sheikh al-Badawi and told him to carry the burden of victory. Abdallah, his son, said: "The Sheikh gave me a name and told me to write it down and read it in an empty place. Inform me when you come." He said, "I read it, and I heard a voice saying, 'A nation that has been in darkness for ages, the destroyer of pleasures has made them safe until he has provided wealth that cannot be returned, so they woke up and no one was seen but their homes were ruined.' The Sheikh was saddened by this and said to Abd al-Samad: 'He who has great worldly victory should go to the Prophet, and he who has a light sin should come to us.' And among them, a woman came to him and said: "I have orphaned children, and their cow went to suckle herself." So she sent a man to her, and he came to her. He said to them: "Sheikh al-Badawi, the poor one, told you that you have sinned, and sin necessitates slaughter. I have stopped." She denied it. When the time of death approached, he said, "O Kahlis, I will bring you on the Day of Resurrection." And he passed away, may God be pleased with him, in the year 'Ananiyah, ten after the thousand, and the Mulla. In that year, Shandi was killed. Barakat ibn Hamad ibn Sheikh Idris followed the path of the people, on the authority of Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib, and on the authority of his grandfather Sheikh Idris. And he took from jurisprudence from Mudawi ibn Madani and al-Faqih Muhammad ibn Yusuf and his sons.
