As a generous patron of the arts, Thiqat was often praised in poetry.
Ibn Sa'id al-Maghribi described him as "a great king and a generous man. Poets and scholars would come to him from everywhere, so he elevated their ranks and was very charitable towards them" in his work al-Mughrib fī ḥulā l-Maghrib. Other poets such as Ibn al-Khayyat praised his military genius, defense of the Islamic faith, generosity, and wisdom. Muḥammad b. Abdūn al-Sūsī compared Thiqat to a full moon. == References ==
