Ibn Abd al-Malik al-Kharragi with his people, calling for the King of the Maghreb. The Commander of the Muslims, may God grant him victory, was displeased. So, the vizier of the Maghreb, Muharrir ibn Mas'ud al-Tibrisi, and the commander of the plain, with thousands of Marinids for ransom, were sent to the service of 'Izz al-Din ibn 'Ali ibn Rashid al-Maghribi, who was then in Tlemcen. He was to plant his garden, and God willed it. On the first day of Dhu al-Hijjah, the news reached the aforementioned vizier, the naked alarm. So, he fled, taking refuge in the city of Mostaganem. The Commander of the Muslims, may God strengthen him, took possession of the plain and its surrounding territories for some days, resting there during the afternoon, gathering strength, and preparing for battle. Then he moved to the middle of Mandar As. The King of the Maghreb had joined him, along with his vizier, Abu Bakr ibn Bukhari, all the Banu Marin, and all the Zughba, and Ya'qul. They descended upon al-Haimi, and the eyes were upon the two groups. Neither group knew of the other. When they persisted, on the afternoon of the day of Ruwad, they were ambushed and spent that night in hiding. Then their treachery began. The vizier, cautious for himself, then joined the Commander of the Muslims, may God strengthen him. He crossed that plain with Wadi Suf, safe from the enemy. From there, the group returned. After a short while, Rashid arrived, and then Mount Rashid was named to lighten the burden of the growing crops and the flourishing infrastructure, and the war against the enemy would resume.
