The Arabs besieged him in Al-Qayrawan, as previously mentioned. Al-Mu'izz desired to move to Al-Mahdiyyah, to be safe from the Arabs. Al-Mu'izz's people moved to Al-Mahdiyyah until the year nine hundred and forty-two. Ubayman and Baghayah arrived, and Abu Shaban moved, and Tamim's followers were killed. Al-Mu'izz ruled for five years and four hundred and forty-two years. It was a waqf between the slaves of Tamim and the slaves of Al-Mu'izz. The slaves of Al-Mu'izz were in charge, and they would inform Al-Mu'izz of what he disliked, as they saw it. Al-Mu'izz stayed there until the year four hundred and fifty-three, and he died, may God have mercy on him. His reign was seven years and four months, and he was eleven years old when he became king. It was said he was eighteen years and six months old. He was noble-hearted, diligent, abstaining from bloodshed, just, forbearing, and forgiving. He was generous to his slaves and companions, honored scholars, and gave them many gifts. He once gave Al-Mustansir Al-Zarqani one hundred thousand dinars. This water was brought to him, and he was pleased with it. He gave it to him, and it was said that he ordered the digging of a canal from the Nile to Al-Qahira, which was called Al-Mu'izz's Canal. He had fifty-five children. When he died, poets mourned him, including Abu Al-Hasan Abu Rashiq, who said: Every living being, however long its life, perishes. Neither a kingdom nor a king remains. Al-Mu'izz said: "Indeed, the pasture is abundant. He used to uphold the pillars of the kingdom. He passed away, and his treasures remained. The roads were lost, and wealth was stagnant in what they owned. It was as if he was not present for death, and they were engrossed. As if he had not been present for death, and they were engrossed. The seas were stirred when his ships sailed. And Muhammad was not a bird in need. He was carried by the wind of the Berbers. The soul of Al-Mu'izz was the soul of the sun, and it entered it. And he looked at the light of the kingdom. When they died, his son Tamim became king. He was devoted to Al-Mansuriyyah, chosen in the year four hundred and twenty-three. He took charge of the kingdom and chose Al-Mahdiyyah because it was a place between his father's life and his own, as we mentioned. When he took charge of the kingdom, he followed his father's path in good conduct and love of scholars. His father's actions, which spread throughout the lands, made the people covet independence due to the dominance of the Arabs. Their situation was between the tribes. During Al-Mu'izz's time, there was trouble with the Arabs. When he died, the officials' desire for independence increased. The leader of the Khilafah, Abu Al-Fadl, showed his opposition to Tamim. He was supported by the Arabs. Tamim's supporters fought against Hamu's supporters, and the latter defeated the former. Tamim was loved by the people, like a bird. He was known for his eloquence and good writing. He used to write poems for Hamu to praise him and convey his message to Tamim. When the aforementioned battle took place, Hamu's supporters continued to fight Tamim's supporters. Mazhar wrote a letter to Tamim, quoting the words of Al-Mutanabbi: "May God hasten his end. The orator who came, And the thirst of the envious was quenched. He came to you, O Tamim, and you were amazed."
