And I informed him that I was going to the settlement of the late brother to offer condolences to his family, and he asked me to tell his brother, the judge Ali, that I would return to him for this news. So I left him in the morning and arrived on Wednesday evening. I offered my condolences and the judge received my message. They spent the night there. I heard that the news was false and that the two sheikhs had gone. I went to the settlement of Sheikh Abu Bakr, who was near the village of Sirr, in the land of... I met people fleeing with their possessions. They were moving cattle from one place to another in search of pasture because of the news of that raid. At noon, I arrived at the settlement of the brother and informed them of the news. The vanguard then set out. As soon as we prayed the Maghrib prayer, he returned with the confirmation of this news. He claimed to have heard that Askia was the one who led the raid. They then set out themselves, with their families and their cattle, leaving their tents erected, their belongings, and their possessions. They fled, and everyone in that area fled, scattered and terrified, and all that could be heard was weeping and screaming. No one waited for anyone, and no one paid attention to anyone. They spent the night like that until the next day. They descended a little, then became agitated by the fear in their hearts, and set off fleeing. Many people died that day from thirst. I was with them until we reached the village of Kumni, where I parted with them and took a different route. I delayed there until the true news arrived, which was that the raid had come because of Fendank Anan, the ruler of Dank, when the Pasha became angry with him, so he fled and they entered after him until they entered Masia.
