He was old, and his wife, Amshanq, was with him at this hour. They said, "By God and by blood, at this hour, and we had no prior covenant with him." And God knows her tears. When he saw that from her, he felt pity for her and said to Ma'na, "Take her and do not apologize." This is the end. Sultan Tirab lived for a long time, as was mentioned, and married many wives and concubines until he had more than thirty sons, not counting daughters and young children. In those days, Sheikh Muhammad Kara served him. He was a young man, and it was ordered that he be among the Koker, meaning the warriors, meaning he should be with his spear-bearers. The Sultan's place, where he rides and where he sits for judgment, and his privacy, was the responsibility of all the kings of Fur. So, a group of people were appointed to bring the spears behind him when he rode or sat for judgment, called "Sumu Kurawa." They believed this was part of the king's order, to preserve the law and instill awe in the people and in the hearts of his subjects. Sheikh Muhammad Kara served in this capacity for a period, and signs of his success appeared. Sultan Tirab favored him and transferred him from his position. "Al-Sum" is the house, and "bin" is a sign of addition and "Al-Dhill" is the family. It means the protection of the family. "Al-Dhra" in their Arabic language is a name for carrying or the household. They entrusted them with the affairs of the people and their messengers, and they were the greatest.
