Revenge. This is the story of the meeting of Abdullah al-Taimashi with Muhammad Ahmad al-Mahdi and the people who followed him.

His cunning, trickery, deceit, and treachery. I will later discuss his biography and the rest of his possessions elsewhere.

The Mahdi's Secret Call Upon the Mahdi's return from Malawin, he began to secretly call people to the Mahdiyya.

Many of the A'marab tribes living around Aba Island pledged allegiance to him, including the two tribes of Daqaim and Kinana. The reason for these two tribes' eagerness to join his call was their alliance with Ali bin Helu, whom the Khalifa al-Farouq nicknamed. Daqaim was the owner of Muhammad Ahmad al-Mahdi's camel and used to appoint him as his representative in the island of Aba when he traveled.

It is said that the Daqaim and Kinana tribes were called "al-Baqqara." This name is given to every tribe whose livestock are cattle. Their men are known for their bravery and strength, and their customs are similar to those of the Kordofan tribes, where a virgin is not married until she has children from fornication, which they consider a blessing to her brother. Each child from this tribe is called "his maternal uncle's eye." Their women are known for their boldness in ambushing travelers and robbing them of their possessions, or for their immorality. If a man refused, they would hold him by his testicles until he died or fell unconscious. The Mahdiyya movement slowed down this practice, and it disappeared as if it never existed.

Many Sudanese government officials pledged to inform him of news. Around three thousand A'marab men gathered around him, and the government was unaware of them.
