She used to sob and cling to the curtains of El Kaaba while saying:"My Lord and Master please me and make me happy with your acceptance". She used to learn the Quran by heart and its interpretations.

She was one of Allah's best examples in night supplication and fasting during daytime. She was diligent in work and study and was entitled "the most precious in knowledge". They used to tell her can't you have pity on yourself? She used to say how can I have pity on myself while I have many unresolved obstacles that cannot be tackled except by the winners?

She was indifferent to worldly pleasures the indifference of scholars who left what occupies the mind of man from Allah. Her slogan was Allah first and society second.

She used to eat little food and it was narrated that she used to eat once every three days. She used to have a basket hanging in front of her praying of her prayer rug.

She came to Egypt and was received and welcomed warmly by Egyptian people as the Egyptians loved her before they saw her as they heard about her from the pilgrimage delegations.

She stayed at the residence of Om Hane' a pious Egyptian woman and was approached by many people who wanted to fulfill their errands and demands. All of them go back after having their errands fulfilled and their grief gone.

Many scholars heard her prophetic sayings and Islamic legislations and benefited a lot from her knowledge.

Imam EL Shafeei came to Egypt where he rested there and used to approach her and the tie of knowledge was consolidated. Also he used to seek her opinion in scientific matters.

Imam El Shafei was the third after the two preachers Abu Hanifa and Malek. He gathered and grasped their knowledge and formed his opinion which was a mixture of his opinion and El Sunna. He initiated a branch of knowledge entitled "The basis of legislations" and many scholars abided to it. Hence he was entitled as "EL Sunna Supporter ".

He used to visit her on his way to his knowledge sessions at El Fustat mosque and on his way back to home he used to pray El Tarawih Prayers at her mosque.

When he was ill and unable to visit her, he used to send his students asking her to pray for his recovery which happened by the blessing of her prayers.

During his last illness she prayed for him saying: "May Allah receive him well" and in other narration "May he be gratified by seeing Allah" and he understood from her saying that he is about to die so he urged her to pray on him upon his death.

His funeral passed by her home and she prayed on him and some of the pious people who attended the funeral said: "We heard after praying over him that Allah has forgiven everyone who prayed on El Shafei and El Shafei himself was forgiven by Lady Nafisa's prayer may Allah bless her".

Her husband asked her to accompany him to El Higaz but she refused telling him that she dreamt of our prophet peace be upon him telling her not to leave Egypt as she is doomed to die in it."

She dug her own grave being very keen on meeting her Creator and having no desire in this wretched world. Her soul was taken while she was fasting and reading the Quran

She asked her husband who wanted to burry her at El Bakei to carry out the cleansing rituals, but the Egyptian people pleaded for her burial in Egypt at the grave she dug with her hands.

They gathered a lot of money and left him with him yet he insisted. The next day he told them that he saw our prophet Mohamed peace be upon him saying to him Isaac return the money back to the people and burry her in Egypt. The people rejoiced by this saying Allah Akbar.

Her burial day was witnessed by all people from various countries who prayed and mentioned Allah in their supplication. Reminiscence was built on her grave written on it:

"Folks affiliated to our prophet Mohamed, your love is mandatory as stipulated in Quran. Suffice your great estimation that anyone who doesn't pray for you shall be denied the acceptance of his prayers".

Our prophet peace be upon him says that everything has a foundation and that love of the followers of our prophet peace be upon him and his folks is the foundation of Islam.

These are the good example of the folks of our prophet peace be upon him. You could wonder where are we from these pious people who were supported by Allah and angels and were doomed to heaven by our prophet peace be upon him.
