Nasb-and-the-Nawasib

Ibn al-Athīr has made mention of the Khārijī presence there. 1 And Ibn
Khaldūn says:
كان أهل مواطن سجلماسة من مكناسة يدينون لول اإلسالم بدين الصفرية من الخوارج
The people of Sijilmāsah who belonged to the Miknāsah tribe subscribed to
the Ṣufriyyah branch of the Khawārij. 2
Al-Nāṣirī also says:
اجتمعت الصفرية من مكناسة بناحية المغرب القصى...‏ واختطوا مدينة سجلماسة سنة أربعين ومائة من
الهجرة،‏ ودخل سائر مكناسة من إهل تلك الناحية في دينهم.‏
The Ṣufriyyah of Miknāsah gathered in the furthest part of the West and
planned the city of Sijilmāsah in the year 140 A.H. Thereafter all the people
of Miknāsah living in those lands entered into their dogma. 3
