Overview
Abu al-Hasan Ali ibn Sa'd, sultan of Granada, called Mawlay Hasan. Al-Maqqari says that he gave himself to pleasures, and stirred the people of Granada by bringing in his Roman concubine Thurayya, Dar al-Dawla's mother. His sons Abu Abd Allah Muhammad and Abu al-Hajjaj Yusuf feared him, and fled to Guadix; Almeria, Baza and Granada gave them their allegiance, so Abu al-Hasan fled to Malaga. 2
When his son Abu Abd Allah was taken captive in the battle of Lucena, the notables of Granada brought Abu al-Hasan back to the kingdom. Then an illness took his sight, so he deposed himself in favour of his brother Abu Abd Allah, went to al-Mankab and lived there until he died. 3
