Here ends the behavior of the murid until he reaches the rank of caliph, where he has the following duties:

A - The seven days of seclusion every year, starting on the second day of Ashura (1), and the food is empty of every living being, and on the first day (there is no god but Allah) is recited thirteen thousand times, and at the beginning of each time is a specific supplication followed by one to recite it.

On the sixth day, he mentioned: “Giving” forty thousand and three hundred times, and a supplication that he recited.. On the seventh day, he mentioned “Holy” forty-five thousand times. A supplication follows it (2). The brothers also have a seclusion every year on the second day of those who live beyond its period of seven days. It is absolutely obligatory for everyone who is affiliated with the Rifa'iyya order, whether murids or brothers, and its conditions are fasting for the seven days mentioned, along with the conditions of being alone, such as purity, fasting, and the type of food that is free of any spirit, sleeping in one bed absolutely with one's family, and the dhikr of the brothers is bound to this, and not being alone is after every prayer. One hundred times, after which he prays for the Prophet in a known form. At the end, he dedicated all of this to the Messenger, peace be upon him, to his companions, to his children, to the companion of the path, to the Rifa’i chain, to the father of his sheikh, and to all his Muslim brothers. Perhaps the Rifa'i method was the most famous method of Karamat, which was based on stabbing oneself (with a shisha hook) while in a state of coma, eating glass, and arresting people. Protected iron, entering fire, and abstaining from snakes (1)!!! There was also a universal perception among the sheikhs of this method in managing this world in which we live, which the sheikhs of other paths shared with them, in contrast to the details. They saw in it that there is:

A - The poles of the circle, who are seven wanderers on the earth who do not settle in any place.

B - The pegs, and they are four in every time, neither increasing nor decreasing, and they are the pillars in every time. Among them is a man through whom God preserves that time. They are the security of this nation. God removes calamities from the earth and afflictions from the people. Therefore, they are elevated / pegs.

C - Al-Abdāl: With the opening of the hamza, the plural is /bādāl, which is a common word that they use to refer to one whose blameworthy descriptions are changed into praiseworthy attributes, and to one who combines the knowledge of the apparent and the hidden, and to the authors of hadith, and to a specific number in which there is disagreement, (and the correct view is that they are forty men and forty women).

(Whenever a man or woman dies, God replaces him with another by placing him in his place in the station that He commanded in his life.) And it was said that because they were given the power, they could leave them forever where they wanted and create an image that mimics their image so that everyone who saw it would not doubt that it was him. This may be in a case other than the replacement, but the difference between them is that the substitute returns and knows that he left someone else behind, and the non-replacement does not know that, even if he leaves it and these Abdals live in the Levant.

D - Procreation: They are referred to as the nobles, and they are seventy. Their residence is Egypt and their rank is above the captains and below the replacements.

E - The captains and their residence is Morocco. As for the organization of their camp, it is as follows: The relief pole is one, and it is set up on the roof of the Kaaba. To his right he sits an imam and to his left an imam. When the pole of relief moves to the abode of permanence, the imam on the right sits in his place, and takes the place of this imam on the left. Then his great replacement comes and he sits in his place with the imam of the facilitator. Then he completes forty with one of the seventy procreations, and procreation is completed. With one of the three hundred captains, then the captains are completed with one of the righteous people of this nation, and they are the people of the unseen, entitled (the people of God), meaning the charioteers.
