Content<\/td>\nThis manuscript is a tribute to the spiritual leader Cerno Aliiyu \u0253uuba Ndiya\u014b. It describes the sadness of the community the Saturday he died. It presents his death as a loss of a good person, a righteous guide who taught the community how to live righteously and how to worship God properly. The beginning of the manuscript deals with the prayers people said for him. The prayers include a request that God removes darkness from his tomb by bringing light there. The poet celebrates how he emphasized the Tijaniyya teachings and guided his followers appropriately so that they did not perform unrighteous acts and become spiritually lost. To many, it seems that he had wings like an angel. With these wings, he protected the community from falling into sin through his teaching, guidance, and prayers.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
