Yahya ibn Abd al-Aziz is described as a virtuous and magnanimous prince, but of weak character and obsessed with women and hunting; he would surround himself with old men and women which would entertain him. His sisters Taqsut, Umm Mallal and Shiblah would dress themselves as brides to make their brother laugh. Then he would fall asleep and when he woke up, would directly go hunt.[7]
