In the early days of Safar in the year 849, the commander Mok bin Zargun passed away in Neket and was buried in the cemeteries of the Great Mosque. On Wednesday, the seventh of the same month, the commander Ahmad bin al-Qaid Ham bin Ali passed away. He was in Al-Bahr, near the village of Kan. He had been ill for some time, and his house was burned down. He went out with his army to Lawash to fight Ismail bin Askia Muhammad bin al-Amir Askia Dawud, because of what he had done to the archers who had accompanied him in pursuing his brother. These were bad deeds that had ruined his reputation. He did not speak of them, but rather of the words of Masoud. His intention was to reach the army until he reached the land of Bini. He then revealed himself and stayed there for ten days due to the difficulty of crossing the boats. Then he proceeded to the city of Kaga and stayed there for ten days. Then he proceeded to Kokia. He stayed there for the duration of the birth. Then he was summoned to Lolami, the land of Askia. He arrived there with his army and camped. Masoud fought with him and defeated him and his army, and they scattered in the mentioned land with Askia Muhammad bin Tiken, who was the owner of the opinion and the advisor. The people of Tiken, fearing the arrival of the enemy, surrendered and obeyed. They appointed Ashia Ahmad bin Anas bin al-Amir Askia Dawud as their leader and made him Askia. He took the property of Ismail and his family and descendants, who were a large group. He then departed for Tishket. When they had gone a short distance, they returned, attacked them, and removed the son of Anas, the aforementioned. They then appointed Dawud bin Muhammad Sirk Haj bin al-Amir Askia Dawud.
