And this time, Bab Sharaqi, son of Al-Kahhi San Barkaj, was killed in the month of Rabi' al-Akhir. He was brought to Al-Ruway, then dismissed on Wednesday, the twenty-sixth of that month. His tenure lasted a full month. The seventh time, he appointed him after the dismissal of Commander Yusuf bin Abdullah, from the third year of his rule, on the evening of Monday, the last day of Sha'ban, in the year one hundred and forty-two after the Hijra. The reason for this appointment was that Al-Kahhi Muhammad bin Commander Ahmad Al-Khalifa intercepted the path of the Muslims and seized a boat belonging to the sons of Al-Haj Bu Tass, and another belonging to Sayyid Muhammad bin Tayyib, which contained Abd al-Malik bin Al-Tunfari, master of Commander Mai Al-Malji. In the boat of the sons of Bu Tahir was his son Abd al-Qadir. Their belongings were taken. The news then reached Kibr, so Abd Allah, who was in Kibr, sent a messenger on the last day of Sha'ban, the eighth month of the year one hundred and forty-two after the Hijra. Kibr sent his messenger with his dispatches to Timbuktu to the Qadi Sayyid Ahmad and all the army and the appointed officials. He informed them of this news in the dispatches and instructed them to act as Pasha as soon as they read the dispatches. When the messenger delivered his message to the Qadi, the army, and the appointed officials, they gathered and read Kibr's dispatches. They agreed with his opinion regarding Commander Abdullah and gave him their allegiance. In the dispatch, it was stated that if they did not act as Pasha immediately and without delay, then all those who were residing with them should hasten to Kibr to live with them. Therefore, the archers gathered and called out to the Qadi Sayyid Ahmad, his deputy. They read the letter and agreed regarding Commander Abdullah, and they appointed him Pasha on that expedition. During this period, Muhammad bin Commander Bahed was appointed in Kibr, so Kibr acted in the name of the aforementioned Pasha. In this period, Askia Al-Haj bin Askia Bakr bin Askia Muhammad Sadiq bin Askia Biker bin Balma Sadiq bin Amir Askia Dawud bin Amir al-Mu'minin Askia Al-Haj Muhammad ascended the throne of Tuskia. He was appointed in Fartasal.
