Idris, his grandfather, as a result of his increasing passion for knowledge, and after studying with all the scholars of Msamga, and Mazouna, traveled to Fez to study with its famous scholars. As Shukri mentioned in his discussion on this point, "Ibn al-Senussi was not content with what he had acquired in his country, but rather headed to the protected city of Fez, the destination of scholars, and that time was a time of great scholars." Al-Ashib, Pritchard, and Ziyada also went for this reason, and Winford Raine attributed it to a kind of disagreement between Ibn al-Senussi and his family. We believe that the pursuit of knowledge was a primary reason for his departure, as Ibn al-Senussi was characterized by his love for knowledge and his eagerness to learn. Undoubtedly, after finishing his studies with the scholars of his country, he aspired to increase his knowledge and thought of traveling. However, in addition to this primary reason, we believe that there may have been circumstances in Algeria that explain these circumstances and hastened his departure. The news in 1199 AH, as Al-Sheikh Al-Nasiri mentioned in his book "Al-Istiqsa," states that a sedition broke out between the Arabs of Tlemcen and the Turks. The reason was that the Bey of Oran had a bad opinion of the فقراء (ascetics) and the منتسبين (followers) and a bad belief about them, so he killed some of the Darqawi sect and ordered the arrest of their leader, Abu Jamil Abd al-Qadir bin al-Sharif al-Filtami, the teacher of the great Sheikh Abu Abd Allah Sidi Muhammad al-Arabi bin Ahmad al-Darqawi, the Sheikh of the aforementioned sect. Abd al-Qadir fled to the desert and settled in the camp of the free people. The sect members gathered around him and were angered by the killing of some of them. They marched with the Arab tribes to fight the Turks and defeated them by surprise. When the spring season of the aforementioned year arrived, the governor of Algeria sent an army to the Bey of Oran. The Bey of Oran sent to Moulay Sulaiman to ask him to mediate with the Darqawi. He did so, but the Bey suspected him and the Sultan. The result was that the Arabs of Tlemcen rebelled against the Turks and pledged allegiance to the Sultan. The Bey wrote to the Dolati Pasha, the owner of Shukri.
