205. 1" Muhammad el Zayn ibn el Sheikh Marzuk^." He was taught by his father's brother Musa^ and by Sheikh Sugha- yerun*. . . .His sons were Sheikh Ya'akub and Marzuk and Medowi.
206. "MUKHTAR WALAD AbU 'AnAYA." A follower of Sheikh Taha'^ ibn 'Omara.. . .Sheikh Isma'il el Daka-
lashi^ and the feki Nafa'i were among his pupils.
207. "MUKHTAR IBN MUHAMMAD GODATULLA'." His father was a disciple of el Kadal^ ibn el Faradi, and he himself
was born at el Zalata in Northern Kordofal.. . ."He died a martyr's death at the hands of Gunkul the Sultan of Fur — both he and his
pupils — and their possessions were confiscated; and the reason was that [Mukhtar] ordered [the Sultan] to do the right, and warned him against wrongdoing, [For the Sultan] advanced from el Kab with
1000 horse to make war upon King Deki'n, and [Mukhtar's] disciple the/e^/ Nafa'i elFezari said tohim*^ ' Sendme^^to him ' ; and [Mukhtar] replied ' Tell him not to fight the Fung in their country : if he does so God and the Prophet will be on their side, and I also.' And when
[the Sultan] heard that he said 'Raise the sword,' and when they had done so he said ' Please God I will kill the feki Mukhtar, and we will bury him among ourselves, and [then we shall be able to] visit [his
tomb] ! ' And he set off to attack them (?) and found the feki together with his disciples reading, and he killed both the feki SLnd his disciples and his compatriots and confiscated their goods. Then through the grace of the feki in those days was Gunkul slain, and [he died] leaving about fifty sons, and these have been killing one another even up to this present day. That any one of them should die in his bed,
as for instance el 'Isawi did, has been a rare occurrence."

lamabi." One of his ancestors settled on the White Nile with the Hasanat; and, later, the KawAhla and others rendered Musa obedience. . . .
