Abu Faris Abd al-Aziz al-Hafsi

Sultan Abu Faris Abd al-Aziz of Tunis — the sleepless ruler who called the adhan and led prayer himself, abolished the Frankish wine-market and every mukus in his realm, made the roads so safe caravans slept abroad, sent alms to Cairo and the Haramayn and wore neither silk nor gold; died en route to Tlemcen, 837.
