Long before Dorouss Hassania, a Morocccan sultan held Ramadan lectures to study Sahih al-Bukhari

Ahmed al-Mansour, the Saadian Sultan of Morocco from 1578 to 1603, was deeply committed to intellectual pursuits, hosting scholarly gatherings and religious celebrations in his palace. During Ramadan, he initiated special lectures that involved reciting and studying Sahih al-Bukhari, in what we can call a 16th-century form of today's Dorouss Hassania.
