Overview
Al-Maqqari says that the enemy entered the district of Merida in 626 AH, through Muhammad ibn Hud, and that this was the beginning of the calamities at his hands. Merida was the capital of the lands of al-Jawf in the time of the Arabs and the non-Arabs, and it is five days' journey from Cordoba. 1
