Notes	Praise be to God alone May God’s blessings and peace be upon our master and lord Muhammad and his family and his companions, Al-Abbasha Al-Asaad, the wisest jurist, the most honorable, the most glorified, Mr. Idris Al-Sarraj. May God bless you and protect you with His grace, generosity, and care. Peace be upon you. Complete peace, mercy, and blessings be upon you. May your fullest peace be upon you for the goodness of our Lord the Imam. And then, may you be generous in your knowledge that when we hear the news of our concern and sorrow, as well as our greatness. We are small, and the matter belongs to God alone, so all the notables of the community of the people of Tadja, Zawiya al-Idrisiya, and all the notables of the community of the people of Khair al-Zawiya, marabouts and generals, and all the community of honorable people, the sons of Sidi al-Hassan, and all the community of honorable people, the sons of Sidi Balghith, and all the people of the honorable group, the sons of Sidi Muhammad, and all the people of the honorable people, the sons of Sidi Ahmed, all of them the sons of Moulay Ali al-Sharif, and their minds agreed that your successor, Hajj al-Ghali bin al-Qaid, will remain in his place and continue his government, and no one will disagree with him until God, God, comes. With joy, then after that, those other than the aforementioned groups rose up and wanted from their affairs what they wanted of corruption, and Hajj al-Ghali was late for the government and remained in his house, and we heard that the group that wanted corruption had written to you to stop all the people of the Zawiya, that their opinion was unanimous in delaying your aforementioned caliph, for the mentioned groups were clear of that, and no one agreed with them regarding those who wanted it, even if they wrote anything, but that was the presence of falsehood and slander, and that when your caliph, al-Qaid al-Ghli, was late yesterday, the people of the prison imagined that the people of the prison were on the list. On him until they released him from prison, and this is what is obligatory for you to be informed and to serve the high side of God and obey the command and peace and treat him with the zakat of the honorable and knowledgeable people for what he heard from those who wanted corruption. Every individual is known by hearing. It was authentic on the 28th of Rajab in the year 1290 and he wrote it with the permission of the mentioned groups. Praise be to God. The deputy of the scholar, the judge of the group, Abd Rabbo, knows its authenticity.
