Ibn Tumart departed. And he left Al-Mahdiyyah, leaving his memory in the hearts of many of its inhabitants. From there, he intended to go to Monastir to stay for a few days "with a group of the righteous." Their ascetic life in the famous ribat of the city captivated him, where they lived for worship, studying knowledge, and preparing for jihad, which fulfilled his desires and satisfied his longings. There, students of knowledge came to him to learn from him. "Then he traveled to the city of Tunis." Especially the fundamentals. And he blamed the scholars at one point for intending to bury a man who was not prayed for, believing he harbored Judaism, while some testified that he prayed. So he made them pray for him and informed them of the Sunnah and explained the Book to them. In the Middle Maghreb: Ibn Tumart from Tunis with three of his companions who had entered it with him, and they were: Yusuf al-Dukkali, Al-Hajj Abd al-Rahman, and Abu Bakr al-Sanhaji, nicknamed Al-Baydaq. They intended to go to Qusantiniyyah, where they stayed with one of the jurists. Ibn Tumart was ill, so he preached the Sunnah and resisted innovation. Among these, he denounced the people for beating a person for a theft he committed, saying to them: "O people, you have abandoned the Sharia. The hand must be cut off. This beating is a substitute for cutting off due to your ignorance." Then he treated that man until he repented at his hands and died. Then he moved with his companions to Bijayah and its ruler at that time, the Hammadid, Al-Aziz Billah Ibn Mansur Ibn Al-Nasir Ibn Al-Nasir (d. 1151 CE). This was in the year 1123 AH/1123 CE. - See: Al-Zarkashi, Tarikh al-Dawlatayn (111) - Ibn Al-Athir, Al-Kamil (112) - See also: Ibn Al-Qattan, Nazm Al-Juman, p. 294. - See: Al-Zarkashi, Tarikh al-Dawlatayn (113) - Al-Baydaq, Akhbar Al-Mahdi Ibn Tumart (114) He is the one who wrote "Akhbar Al-Mahdi Ibn Tumart" and recorded in it, starting from their departure from Tunis, detailed news about Ibn Tumart and the events that befell him. - Al-Baydaq, Akhbar Al-Mahdi Ibn Tumart (115) He alone mentioned the entry into Qusantiniyyah.
