Sidi Muhammad Dala-i, may ALLAH be pleased with him

Abu AbdALLAH Sidi Muhammad ibn AbdALLAH Dala-i (may ALLAH be pleased with him) was a pious Wali of authentic spiritual opening and radiant unveiling. This master was among the elite of the companions of Seyyidina Ahmed Tidjani (may ALLAH sanctify his precious secret) and of those who had taken the noble Tariqa Muhammadiya from him. 

Seyyidina Ahmed Tidjani (may ALLAH sanctify his precious secret) had (confirmed) testified (witnessed) to his evident spiritual Opening and it is related that one of the companions had a dream in which he saw Sidi Muhammad Dala-i (may ALLAH be pleased with him) dead. When he awoke, he went to relate his vision to Seyyidina Ahmed Tidjani (may ALLAH sanctify his precious secret) but as soon as he went to speak, Seyyidina Ahmed Tidjani (may ALLAH sanctify his precious secret) turned to him and hushed him. Then Seyyidina Ahmed Tidjani (may ALLAH sanctify his precious secret) revealed through spiritual unveiling: “The man that you saw had the spiritual opening last night.”
