“Sidi Ahmed Abdellawi (may Allah be pleased with him) told me (Shaykh
Ahmad Sukayrij) that Sidi Mohammed ibn al-Arabi Damrawi Tazi (may Allah
be pleased with him; d. 1210/1795) wrote Sidna Shaykh Tijani (may Allah
be pleased with him) a letter in which he revealed him that he saw a
station that was between Prophethood and the Qutbaniya but it was not
inheritable and reserved to one person in this community. He
acknowledged that he envied that station but he didn’t dare to ask it
to the Prophet (peace and blessing be upon him) in case that station
wasn’t reserved for him and fearing to lose everything.
Indeed, he was informed that it was reserved for Sidna Shaykh (may Allah be pleased with him), that’s why he went to inform him about this huge favour. Sidi Mohammed Ibn Arabi Damrawi Tazi (may Allah be pleased with him) asked Sidna Shaykh (may Allah be pleased with him) to give him, as for a reward to the good news, the merit of ten times of the Greatest Name (al-Ism al-'Adham), ten times of Salat al-Fatih and ten times the reward of the “Key of Poleship” (Miftah al-Qutbaniya). He asked it because he noticed that a single invocation of Sidna Shaykh (may Allah be pleased with him) was beyond what his ancestors, his sons and him could have done for seventy years.”
