Overview
The people's resistance
A relief force of Berbers gathered to Sa'id ibn Salih, king of Nekour, of the Banu Salih ibn Mansur, and they advanced against the Majus. Ibn Khaldun says that he broke up their band and killed their leader, and his affairs were set right until he died. 2
The year of Sa'id's death in the source text is given as 188 AH, which does not appear to match the year of the raid, 244 AH. The source needs to be checked.
