Aboud was a witness to several periods, during which he remained a beacon of knowledge, deserving to be considered the first university in the world.

At Al-Qarawiyyin, Ibn al-Sanusi met the greatest scholars of Morocco and learned from them. He was characterized by a strong desire for knowledge and a great thirst for learning. It is highly probable that he moved between different circles during the years he spent in Fez, learning from scholars, one after another, various sciences that were taught and for which diplomas were granted. Arslan transmitted to us the account of Ahmed Al-Sharif about his studies in Fez and about Al-Sumoukh Al-Din.

He learned from them, saying: "I learned from the scholar, the Imam, the master, Sidi Muhammad bin Al-Tahir Al-Qalali Al-Sharif Al-Alawi. I read with him Mukhtasar Al-Saad, Jam' al-Jawami', Al-Sullam, and a good portion of Mukhtasar Al-Sheikh Khalil. He narrates from Al-Hafiz Ibn Kiran, Al-Allama Al-Zarwali, and their sheikh, Al-Allama Ibn Al-Shaqrun, with their aforementioned chains of transmission, and other prominent scholars of Fez. Among them is the learned, pious, and insightful scholar Abu Al-Mawahib, Sidi Abu Bakr bin Ziyad Al-Idrisi. I attended him in many sciences and read with him the laws of inheritance, arithmetic, the Forty Hadith and its multiplications, the astrolabe and its construction, the four sciences: mathematics, geometry, astronomy, and physics, arithmetic, the principles of music rules, surveying, adjustment, and correction, the science of judgments, genealogy, magic squares, geographical rules, the principles of the astrolabe, expansion, fraction, algebra, and comparison, and others... This is a long list that indicates Ibn Al-Sanusi's eagerness to receive knowledge and points to his broad knowledge. It is understood from what Arslan transmitted from Ahmed Al-Sharif that Ibn Al-Sanusi remained preoccupied with these sciences and taught them to some of his students and disciples later on.

His Teachers: The scholars from whom he studied during his stay in Fez are many, and among the prominent ones are: Al-Tazi, who spent eleven years at Al-Qarawiyyin University.
