There was a certain scholar, he was a Bagurusi.
There was a Gurusi chief
there, right? If this story is told, Imam will be pleased.
Imam when he came out of Kano, Imam Hausa.
He was removed to come and lead the prayer from Salaga.
The people behind really enjoyed it very much. When it ended, they came and
shook his hand, “ Imam, your prayer was wonderful.” He said,“ Oh, you liked it?
By God, that was without ablution,
if I had done ablution…”“… you would have enjoyed it even more than this.”
Today the story turns to Imam Gurusi.
He too was removed and brought so he could come and lead the prayer.
When he arrived, he found them sitting there drinking ataya.“ Imam, go and perform
your prayer.” He said,“ Oh, give him a little of that ataya to drink.”
He drank that very strong ataya right there.
When he came to continue the prayer, because of the strength of that ataya,
his head was spinning. Imam Gurusi… He was supposed
to start with al- Fatiha before he went to a Surah.
He started with a
Surah!
