" The true faith, in his time," according to 
Ebn Said, " was largely disseminated in 
Kanem," — a remarkable change effected 
since the time when El Bekri wrote his 
account. It was under his reign (a. h. 640) 
that the inhabitants of Kanem built the 
Medreset E'bn Rashik at Cairo, where their 
travellers might alight.*
