He was famous for his kindness to the weak and the poor, and he spent on them until the famine passed. Every day he would slaughter four cows in the morning and four in the evening, and distribute their meat along with two hundred thousand sheep. He also provided them with a thousand milk cows, and distributed their milk until God relieved them. He then launched raids, and God granted him much sustenance. He ruled for seven years. His successor was Askia Daud, son of Askia Muhammad. He ruled for twenty-two years. He was a dissolute and bloodthirsty ruler. He and his chief generals committed atrocities that only God knows. Not a day passed without him killing a soul. He was cruel to his people and almost considered them infidels. He intended to kill his brother Ismail, but Ismail learned of this and fled to Timbuktu, seeking help from its people to fight him. The Pasha Sayid ibn Ali wrote to the people of Gao to support him with archers. God helped him, he drove him out, and entered the sultanate. Then Pasha Masud ibn Mansur deposed him. He returned to his people, and they deposed him. The people of Sibi made Askia Daud, son of Muhammad, their chief. Then they deposed him, and he fled to Timbuktu. They appointed Askia Daud. Then Askia Muhammad ibn Harun returned to Askia Daud. Ismail returned with a large army to fight him, so he fled to Gao seeking help. The people of Gao and the people of Timbuktu allied with Askia Muhammad ibn Askia Daud. The Domasi returned with his army, and they fought Ismail. The aforementioned Muhammad died, and they killed Ismail and lost their army. Then the people of Sibi deposed Askia Muhammad and appointed Askia Nuh, son of Askia Muhammad.
