Even though Mawlana Sheikh Mohamed Osman had taken the covenant of the Tariqa Burhaniya many years before, he could still find no teacher or anyone else who could instruct him in the exercises needed to progress on the path of Allah. So he spent most of his time in the mosque where he studied Islamic law and Sharia. One day a blind Egyptian entered the room and asked him, "Don't you want to offer me a seat?" "This is a mosque", Mawlana answered, "Everyone is welcome here." The stranger turned and prayed as is custom when entering a mosque. Then he said, "Sayyidi Ibrahim Disuqi has sent me to teach you awrad." He stayed with Mohamed Osman for seven months and taught him all the details of awrad and other special exercises of the Burhaniya. In this time Mohamed Osman often secretly prayed for his teacher to be cured of his blindness. But then one day his teacher moved about the room, naming the color of every object - for although he was blind, he could see without using his eyes. After the seven months were over he left Mohamed Osman to return, as he said, to Disuq near the grave of Sayyidi Ibrahim Disuqi, which was his home. The next time Mohamed Osman was in Disuq he asked the people there about the stranger but nobody had ever heard of him
