The arrivals and their production were discussed, and their views in the field of culture were mentioned. The sons of Jabir migrated to Egypt, and they were four. The most knowledgeable among them was Ibrahim Jabir, known as "Al-Bulad," the most knowledgeable was Abd al-Rahman, the most magnificent was Ismail, and the most devout was Abd al-Rahman. These trace their lineage to Gholam Allah bin Ad al-Yamani. It appears their arrival was after the arrival of Sheikh Mahmoud al-Marki, as they studied at Al-Azhar under Sheikh Muhammad al-Banufri, who studied under Sheikh Abd al-Rahman al-Ajhuri, who studied under Nasser al-Din and Shams al-Din al-Luqani.
One of them, Sheikh Ibrahim bin Jabir, known as Al-Bulad, settled in the village of "Faranj," where he worked on teaching Maliki jurisprudence and teaching Mukhtasar Khalil. He initially resided in the land of the Shaqiqiyya, then set out for the land of the Funj, continuing his mission. He was the first to teach Khalil's Risala to the land of the Funj. People traveled to him, and his school in Khalil completed seven readings, and in it, forty people became saints and poles.
After the sons of Jabir, there were those who contributed effectively to the spread of religious sciences, as forty scholars studied under them, as we previously indicated. These students worked to spread religious sciences and found great acceptance. Among the students of these Jabiris was Sheikh Al-Zein Walad Safiyun, whose circle reached a thousand students, and his students became Sheikhs of Islam. In summary, the entire country, up to Dar Halij, was filled with jurists, students of that Sheikh, and students of his students. Also, the students of Sheikh Al-Zein Walad Safiyun played a prominent role in spreading religious sciences.
Similarly, among the Sudanese students who came to Egypt and had great importance in spreading religious sciences and Arab-Islamic culture was Sheikh Hamad al-Majzoub. He belongs to the Majzoub clan, which had a clear impact in spreading religious culture in the country. Many of its members would travel to Cairo and then return to Sudan to continue their mission, where Zawiyas were established.
