**And his biography in praise of the Prophet, peace be upon him, and in introduction to the Prophet's biography** **and Islamic values.** **The family of Awlad Muhammad Zein became famous for their prophetic praises, which they perform** **and collect for Haj Al-Mahy. Awlad Muhammad Zein reside at the end of Al-Mahamdan in** **the eastern bank of the Nile in the Al-Markoub area near Amiri. Among them, the famous ones are** **Ali Pasha Muhammad Zein, and the grandson of Muhammad Zein, who is now about 60 years old.** **His cousins, Siddiq Muhammad Zein Ahmed, Khidr, and Issa, share in performing Haj Al-Mahy's poems.** **Deep ties have been established between the family of Muhammad Zein and the family of** **Haj Al-Mahy, a relationship based on the promising religious path (they are all** **from the Ahmadiyya) and the Prophet, peace be upon him. This family, like the family of** **Haj Al-Mahy, has a spiritual connection to the first poet of prophetic praise, the area of Al-Shaqiya on** **Wadi Hali. Ali Pasha himself named his son Ali after Ali Wad Halib. The relationship** **between the family of Muhammad Zein and Haj Al-Mahy reached a far extent, to the point that** **if a death occurred in one of the two families in Al-Kastajr or Al-Jamadab, condolences** **could be offered in either house. Some of Muhammad Zein's sons used to write prophetic praise,** **and their students would collect it and attribute it to themselves for spiritual reasons,** **such as one of them saying:** **Religious Poetry** **In Al-Mahamdan, those who write religious poetry or compose poems in** **praise of the Prophet, peace be upon him, were not famous. However, the people of the region have long been associated with the memory of** **Haj Al-Mahy.** **My dear, I love you** **From the very beginning** **O generous Lord, we see you** **Your pleasure, and sitting with you** **By my good Lord, He made you** **Your satisfaction and also your pleasure** **The praiser Muhammad Zein passed away around the year 1447 AH at the age of ninety years** **and left descendants who perform prophetic praise, their voices resounding with the poems of Haj Al-Mahy,** **perfuming the sky of Al-Hamdaat. Families host them on their nights and during their happy occasions.** **- 105 -** **- 104 -**
