Early in his period of leadership in Fes, in 1609, he commissioned the construction of a second ablutions pavilion in the courtyard (sahn) of the famous Qarawiyyin Mosque in Fes, copying the other pavilion previously built here by Ahmad al-Mansur in 1587 (the two pavilions stand across from each other today).
