O Lord, your forgiveness for what your hands have wrought. For I have no recompense for past sins. O Lord, and grant victory to the Commander of the Muslims, Abu... Protector of the elevated, and the ultimate hope. And let his reign of conquest and empowerment endure, And guide him, his glorious reign among nations. And at the end of Sha'ban, his noble door opened to me, the entire Maghreb at war. First, Hussein, Al-Aritha, and Al-Maniyat, driving out the most feared queen of the Sdayel. Sultan Abu Fares Abd al-Aziz, supported by the Commander of the Muslims, may God strengthen him. He was generous and noble, humble and magnanimous, and granted great fiefs. And in Shawwal, the news reached the entire Bayr-yan region, to the fortress, with the support of Abu Bakr bin Jurayf and a contingent of Arabs. And on the twelfth of Dhu al-Qi'dah, may God grant him victory, he departed gathering his soldiers to confront this virtuous enemy and protect the lands before the outbreak of war. His vizier, Ghuraf bin Musa, preceded him to lead the Arab sheikhs. Then, may God grant him victory, he turned against the Banu Rashid, and Banu Badr, the house of Ya'qub, were stirred up, and they joined Abu Bakr bin Jurayf and his people. And the Commander of the Muslims, may God strengthen him, descended victorious in the plain. Then the vizier Ghuraf bin Musa came to Muhammad bin Jurayf and Sa'd bin al-Abbas al-Wadi'i, and he made a pact with the three of them, may God be pleased with them. He sent Bahran to support him after he had crossed the sea to the shores of Andalusia, and the others were sent to the noble presence. And the chain of transmission ended. Glory be to the Everlasting.
