'Abd al-Qadir al-Sabki, the majdhub

'Abd al-Qadir al-Sabki of Egypt, the majdhub; al-Kawakib says he was rapt, then came to his senses in his last years and took to praying and completing a full khatm each day while his states of unveiling and visions remained — the boatman of his quarter, ferrying it over the water in the days of the Nile's fullness. ¹

He served widows, buying them their needs and placing all he bought in one vessel — oil, sesame oil, honey, pressed dates and the like — then giving each what she needed without mixing; now he would wear soldiers' dress, now countrymen's, now the poor's garb, and he would censure whoever reproached him. He died in Jumada II. ¹
