son of Prince Iskya Al-Hajj Muhammad, may God have mercy on them. He died in the land of Kensi, may God have mercy on him. He remained there for a year and nine months after his escape from the camp of Commander Abdullah to this village. In the month of Jumada al-Ukhra of that year, and God knows best, the Tuareg, except for Tadmakt, came to the land of Tankat with cattle and sheep in great numbers, whose count only God knows, for the purpose of trading for tailors, skins, and clothes, and the like. When the people saw this, they hurried to them until the people of the land became numerous among them. When they gained control over them and their numbers increased in the desert, the Tuareg captured them all, stripped them of their clothes, and despoiled them all. The number of the group they despoiled that day, according to what I found in my father's handwriting, may God have mercy on him, was one hundred and seventy-three, men and women. They killed Dhu al-Khalifa, son of Abdullah bin Bahrun, and his servant Umm Sulaim, daughter of Imam Saleh, and captured some of them and took them away, then returned them to the land. During this period, from the time this incident occurred in our land, Tankat, there was no governor or ruler. The riflemen remained, and no one took charge since Commander Abdullah bin Al-Hajj was dismissed in the month of Jumada al-Awwal in the year thirty-five and one hundred after the thousand. Then, after that, they remained for four years, and no one took charge. They had not remained without a Pasha since Pasha Joder arrived, except for that time. They remained for four years without a Pasha, according to the historical reckoning. However, according to the months, they remained for only three years and six months. On the sixth occasion, on Tuesday, the fifth of the month of Rabi' al-Nabawi, in the year one hundred and forty, after the dismissal of Commander Abd al-Rahman bin Commander Ahmad bin Ali al-Turkini from the year thirty-nine, after he remained there for four months and thirteen days, which was from the month of Jumada al-Awwal in the aforementioned year. He was succeeded only by Commander Abdullah, mentioned in the sixth occasion.
