#6 "There is complete security in their country. Neither traveler nor inhabitant in it
has anything to fear from robbers or men of violence. They do not confiscate the
property of any white man who dies in their country, even if it is uncounted
wealth. On the contrary, they give it in to the charge of some trustworthy person
among the whites, until their rightful heir takes possession of it. They are careful
to observe the hours of prayer, and assiduous in attending them in congregations
and in bringing up their children to them."
- Ibn Battuta "Travels in Asia and Africa," 1325-1354
