He went down to Ceuta, then loosened the reins of his mount and headed to the city of "Annaba." There was a connection between some of his ancestors and its owner, Prince Zakaria. The prince received him with celebration, and included him in the corps of his statesmen, and his son Muhammad followed his example in serving the state, and realized the prestige and respectability that his father had attained. His son Muhammad - who is the great-grandfather of the philosopher Ibn Khaldun - ended up residing in the city of Tunis and joining the state body. When Sultan Abu Yahya left Tunis, he used him there, but his son Muhammad - who is the father of the philosopher whose life is being discussed - influenced the study of science and sitting with writers, so he became numbered in the group of scholars, and was noted for his progress in the art of literature.
