almukhtarani he who comes to you in the guise of an ascetic and shows you that your door has been cut off from its base because he was a muezzin there. then he opens his mouth as someone yawns and you do not see his tongue at all. his tongue is in reality like the tongue of an ox. i am one of those who was deceived by that. almukhtarani must have someone with him to speak on his behalf or a tablet or paper on which his affair and story have been written.
المخطراني الذي يأتيك في زي ناسك، ويريك أن بابك ٣ قدقور لسانه من أصله لأنه كان مؤذنا هناك. ثم يفتح فاه كما يصنع من يتثاءب، فلا ترى له لسانا البتة. ولسانه في الحقيقة كلسان الثور. وأنا أحد من خدع بذلك. ولا بد للمخطراني أن يكون معه واحد يعبر عنه، أو لوح أو قرطاس قد كتب فيه شأنه وقصته.
