He who becomes a camel driver must raise the door of his house.
-A Dictionary of Modern Lebanese Proverbs, Anis Freiha, 1953
KhairAllah has improved and enlarged his house in Umdurman many times over since retiring as a Khabīr, with air conditioning and ample seating in his Majlis. His riches come from other than livestock. He has many children, some well married, and frequent guests from Dar al-Kababish knocking on his tall door. None are unfed and none turned away, no ordinary camel driver he.
