As a devout Muslim, Musa was obligated to make this journey. He made this pilgrimage between 1324 and 1325. His procession reportedly included 60,000 men, all wearing brocade and Persian silk, including 12,000 servants, who each carried 4lbs of gold bars, and heralds dressed in silks, who bore gold staffs, organized horses, and handled bags.
