 Most information on Raynald 's life was recorded by Muslim authors who were hostile to him . Baha ad @-@ Din ibn Shaddad described him as a " monstrous infidel and terrible oppressor " in his biography of Saladin . Saladin compared Raynald with the king of Ethiopia , who had tried to destroy Mecca in 570 and was mentioned as the " Elephant " in the Surah CV of the Quran .
