Remake of Salah

It is reported in the "Kashf al-Hijab" (Lifting up of the veils on the people who met Sidna Shaykh Ahmad Tijani) of the Qadi Ahmad Sukayrij.

That at times he would tell his dark skinned student Sidi Ali Tamasini al-Hassani (RTA), who would at times visit the urban city of Fez from the Bedouin east of the Algerian Sahara, to lead Salah.

After one particular prayer where Sidi Ali Tamasini (RTA) was told by his teacher to lead the Salah. Instantly, after the prayer concluded with 'Salam' of Ali Tamasini (RTA). Shaykh Ahmad Tijani turned around pointing to three of his other students saying "You, You, and You stand and make your Salah again." The three he pointed to while in Salah later admitted during the prayer led by Ali Tamasini that their hearts were murmuring racial remarks. "Who is this dark man coming from the rural area leading many of the top scholars in Fez in Salah." Shaykh Ahmad Tijani (RTA) by insight saw this illness of the heart within ordering them to remake their prayers. Ali Tamasini due to his bedouin accent when he recited 'wa ladhaaleen ' ض which is with a strong DH he would recite saying 'wa ladaaaleen د with the soft D. The students of Shaykh Ahmad Tijani would ask "is such prayer valid"? He would answer "all prayers of a man of opening (Fat'h) [victory] are accepted".

Ali Tamasini was a bedouin sharif (descendant of the Prophet Muhammad [SAW] through the latter's grandson Hassan (AS). He was of a dark complexion and was known for his youthful sainthood already, even before
meeting Shaykh Tijani.
