In lieu of an abstract, here is a brief excerpt of the content:

Appendix 1 Ijaaza Delivered to Momar A. Sali by Samba Tukuloor Ka Praise to God alone, peace be upon the seal of prophecy. May the man of knowledge and wisdom who sees this document understand that Sidy ad daar [Master of the house, the nickname that Samba Tukuloor Ka gave himself] has given permission [meaning the ability to use] and authorization [meaning the ability to distribute] to Muhammad son of Habib Allah [Momar Anta Sali Mbakke] his brother in the path of God and of the sheikh [Sheikh Sidiyya al-Kabir], for the use of the qadiri wird and the orientations originating from Sheikh Mukhtaar and Sheikh Muhammad, in conformity with the order that the latter has given him face to face, may God be satisfied with them. [I have given him the permission and authorization] because I know that he is up to the task of using it and giving it to those who are qualified to receive it, and in the hopes that he will be among the pillars of our religion (surely God is the fulfiller of prayers), and because Sheikh Sidiyya’s family asked me to write this authorization for him when the time comes. 185 You are reading copyrighted material published by Ohio University Press/Swallow Press.
