Overview
Abu al-Muhajir Dinar, a commander of the conquest of Ifriqiya. Mu'awiya appointed him after the removal of Uqba ibn Nafi. He pursued a policy of gentleness toward the Berbers, and was tolerant with their leader Kusayla until he became Muslim, and a great number became Muslim with him. 4
He achieved a victory over the Byzantines, and advanced in the central Maghrib until he reached Tlemcen. 5 Al-Salabi says that Hassan ibn al-Nu'man followed the same policy, namely winning over the Berbers and bringing them into the conquests. 3 The source gives no precise dates for his governorship.
