Ibn Arabshah: Timur-Nahmeh
(History of Timur) (before1450) Syria
---------------------------------------------
Taken from: John Herne Sanders; Tamerlane, Or Timur, the Great Amir
And he had built in the cemetery of the Little Gate two adjoining shrines over the grave of the wives of the Prophet, on whom be the Mercy of Allah! And ordered slaves of Zinj to be collected, of whom he sought to possess more and preferred them to others.
Note; it seems that Timur might have been responsible for some extra slave raiding on the East African coast.
