		Today the Rifa`i Path is notorious for two matters: weapon-piercing and the subduing of poisonous snakes and other harmful animals [such as scorpions].
		This is a matter, among the Rifa`i Masters, used only in times of need and necessity and as a challenge [to non-believers].
		The followers of the [Rifa`i] Tariqa announced to them that they would challenge them to believe and enter Islam, and they did.

		This, again, is also supported by written records almost fully, except that two separate waves of migrations with the same sets of the names be understood instead of a single one as suggested in the legend, which merges the two into one.
