- Mention of the Somali Qadi (jurist) Muhammad bin Omar bin Musa bin Abdullah Al-Jabarti Al-Zayla’i Al-Qurashi. He was one of the prominent figures of Yemen in the 1200s and was considered as a close advisor to the first Rasulid kings of Yemen and a very influential person, basically a noble I guess.

- In the 1200s same manuscript as above, Rasulid era. Jamal al-Din Muhammad bin Mu'min al-Zayla'i, advisor to the Rasulid King and one of his senior ministers and presidents, was a righteous jurist who was known for goodness and righteousness. He is remembered for the greatness of his virtues and good deeds. At the end of his reign he was corrupt and known for oppressing the people and using his authority badly, so the Rasulid Sultan removed him from his positions. The book says he is from Bilad al-Sudan (Africa) more specifically from Zeila.
