Mohammed ibn al-Talib al-Tawudi ibn Suda (1700-95) was one of the most influential scholars of his day in Morocco, both politically and intellectually. He is described by the Egytian historian, Al-Jabarti, as the "crescent of the Maghrib".[1] He travelled to the east in 1767-8 and taught the Muwatta of Malik ibn Anas at Al-Azhar in Cairo and in Medina, together with Mohammed ibn Abdel Karim al-Samman, founder of the Sammaniyya branch[2] of the Khalwatiyya (1718-1775). Ibn Suda was appointed by the sultan in 1788 to reform the curriculum at the Qarawiyin, where he was installed as mufti and shaykh al-jamaa. Ibn Suda is the author of the Asanid
