I am not a sorcerer, but God gave me water when I asked for it. They took the jug from me and repaired it. My call was from the side of Al-Tarfa, and he said, "May God grant him death." He was buried without washing his body, shrouding it, or praying over it. He said, "There is no one on earth like him, for he is an infidel." He ordered him to be buried as he died. His followers continued to go to the prison, bringing him food and clothes. The jailers would take them from them and return to them saying, "The Sheikh orders you." They would bring him food and clothes, and they would hasten to bring them. Then they would not know. The Sheikh lived for a period of time, and his body remained. They remained in this state for a long time until Al-Ta'ayishi ordered his burial. His family knew that he had passed away. He was from a small tribe in Al-Mazbara, who came to Cairo as a child and studied at Al-Azhar Al-Sharif. He excelled in intellectual sciences and had great intelligence and strong faith. One of his Azharite sheikhs said that he had never seen a Sudanese with such intelligence. He returned to his country, and the Mahdist revolution occurred. It found favor in his heart, as he saw it from a political perspective. It has been mentioned that he met the Mahdi and advised him with his poem, which contained many criticisms. He regretted not being able to live with the Mahdi. He spent most of his time in his village in Al-Mazbara, content with the burden and distance from the Mahdi and its evils, until Al-Ta'ayishi summoned him and assigned him to read two lessons in Hadith and inheritance. His intention in doing so was to test him with the passage of time.
