Judge Ibn Ziyad studied at the hands of Malik Ibn Anas and took over the judiciary in Kairouan twice. He did not flatter the people in power. Once a man gave him wheat and he refused it, just as he refused a woman who came from the Emir's side. He left the judiciary and traveled to Tunisia where he died.

Sheikh Muhammad Ibn Farroukh studied in Medina and returned to Kairouan where he studied Sharia. When he refused to be appointed as the judge for Africa, the Emir ordered his imprisonment until he finally accepted the position. He asked to be exempt, as he returned to teaching until he passed away.

The Emir asks Imam Sahnun to take over the post of the judiciary of Africa, he refuses at first, but at the Emir's insistence, he accepts. During his reign, strife arises in the city of Tunis, as the army takes girls as maids, and when Imam Sahnun finds out, he asks the Emir to get back the girls.

As Emir Ibn Al-Aghlab is looking for a just person to look into the affairs of the country, he is guided to Sheikh Ahmed Ibn Abi Mahrez, as he entrusts him with the judiciary of Africa. He once sentenced a man by mistake, so he rushed to get him out after confirming his innocence.

As Sheikh Mahrez tells the Emir that the minister is the one who opened the door of the hall despite its seal, the Emir agrees with him and asks him not to be sad. When the Sheikh feels that his end is near, he orders his son not to inform anyone so that a grand funeral would not be held for him.

Judge Ibn Ghanem lived during the era of the Aghlabid state, and he was appointed by Amir Al-Mu'minin (Commander of the Faithful) as a judge of Kairouan. His term lasted twenty years and he was very inquisitive with the people in order to establish justice.

Muhammad Ibn Al-Banna' was a master of several sciences. When the Emir appointed him as judge of Tozeur, he did not ask for a fee and ruled with justice. When the relationship between him and the Emir worsened, he was imprisoned because he avenged those who exceeded the authority of the judiciary.

The Emir chooses Ibn Abi Talib to be the judge of Africa, who was a revered scholar. When a woman complains to the judge about the Emir, who sent his soldiers and raped her daughters, the judge declares this man’s departure from the religion of Islam, which leads the Emir to send someone to kill him.

Issa Ibn Miskeen was an ascetic scholar who devoted himself to his knowledge. When he was appointed by the Emir as judge of Kairouan, he accepted on the condition that no one would interfere in his rulings. As the Emir goes to invade the Frankish countries, the Sheikh blesses that to spread Islam there.

The judge of the judges appoints Judge Musa Al-Qattan in Tripoli, the country of the tribes and the Berbers. As he goes there and teaches the students medicine and jurisprudence, the notables do not like the judge because he is just and they complain about him to the Emir.

The Emir asks Sheikh Hamas Ibn Marawan to take over the judiciary of Africa, but he hesitates at first because the Emir is known for immorality in his court. As he rules with justice, the minister asks the Emir to appoint another judge to look into the Sultan’s cases, which makes the judge resign.

Abdullah was a scholar and judge of Kairouan. He was ascetic to the extent that his wife borrowed flour from her neighbors for the lack of money. He ruled justly even at the expense of the Governor who wronged one of the men and was dismissed by the Sultan. The judge remained in office until his death.

As the Abidis can defeat the Aghlabids, the Emir worries that the Berbers will not comply because they belong to the Sunni sect, so he appoints the judge, Sheikh Ibn Manzur, in order to gain the people's trust. When the princess asks the judge to release the woman he imprisoned, he refuses.
