As a child Mawlana Sheikh Mohamed Osman had a dream in which the great saint Sayyidi Ahmad al Badawi took him by the hand and led him to the mountain of the saints (jabal awliya), a place near Kartoum. He struck the mountain enforcing it to form a cave. "Pray in this cave" he ordered Mohamed Osman. The boy awoke and was puzzled by these instructions. He inquired into the mayor of that place, a man named Wasim, about the mountain. Wasim told him that the mountain was called Djabal Awliya since some saints had once prayed in one of its caves. Mohamed Osman finally found the place revealed in the dream - a cave, the floor of which was covered with white sand and in which the direction of prayer (qibla) was indicated. There he prayed for the Sheikhs of his order, their chain being only incompletely known to him. He returned to the cave in later years and spent six months there in spiritual retreat
