He left behind more than a hundred sons and more than twenty daughters. When he died, his son Yahya bin Rajab succeeded him in the aforementioned year. He was just, merciful, attentive to the affairs of his state, compassionate to the weak and the poor, generous in alms, and loved scholars and men of virtue. He was knowledgeable in history and the affairs of men, and a visionary. He was handsome, with large eyes, neither tall nor short. When he established his rule, he equipped a fleet to the island of Djerba. The reason for this was that its inhabitants were highway robbers and plundered the wealth of merchants in its capital. He oppressed those on the island until they submitted to his obedience and rule, and injustice and corruption were removed from the people, and the thieves were stopped and cut off. He reformed the sea for the Muslims in the year 500. His death occurred in Majes, near the salt lake. He mentioned to him a dream he had about the succession. He said, "Do not ride, but let him ride." His sons and the people of his state went to the prayer ground. When the prayer was finished, the prominent men came to him, wiped him, and embraced him. Then they saw the recitation, chanting, and poems. Then they returned to their homes to eat food. Yahya's slave, from the sea gate, offered some of them food, but he walked only three steps before he fell dead. His son Ali was in the city of Sfax. When he arrived, the succession was arranged for him. Yahya died in the afternoon. Then he went to the tomb in Monastir. He was fifty-two years and fifteen days old. His reign lasted eight years, five months, and twenty days. He left behind thirty sons and three daughters. Among the poets was Abd al-Jabbar bin Muhammad bin Ahmad bin Sirr al-Safi, with a poem in which his son Ali is mentioned, and it says: "O sword, draw your blade, and O moon, hide until another moon appears. With Yahya's death, all fires are extinguished. Until Ali came, they spread him. They wanted to send him to Sfax to rule him. Yahya's death was a wound to the tongue, so they called for Ali to rule, laughing, and his eyes were averted from his father. The high heavens tore their garments in grief, and the beautiful faces wept for him. Every great sorrow is insignificant compared to him. The position of the guide, and Yahya has no life. Death does not benefit nor is it able to." When Yahya took power, his ambition was great, and his successor was chosen. Among them was Rabi' bin Sukr al-Dahmani. He did not do anything that was not in accordance with the law. He did not send anyone to Ifriqiya with a fleet to carry trade by sea except its emir. He returned during Yahya's reign and equipped a fleet to carry trade, but Yahya's slave, Yahya, knew of this. Yahya sent to Rabi' to prevent him from doing so, by the grace of God and the owner of intelligence, and he believed in his promise that God would help him and enable him to sail his ship at sea. When the situation became difficult, the fleet went to Fes. Al-Mukhtar then sent a fleet from Mahdia to verify the followers. If the followers denied it, he would prove them wrong. Yahya sent a fleet from Mahdia and Ali sent his fleet after him with all the ships to Fes. When Rabi' saw the fleet of al-Jarnaj and the Muslims, he was shaken on his ship.
