Overview
Al-Nasir ibn Alnas al-Hammadi, a king of the Hammadid house in the central Maghrib and Ifriqiya. Ibn Khaldun describes him as the greatest of the kings of this state. He took the citadel and Bejaia, then took Ifriqiya. 1
His rule
He drove the son of al-Mu'izz ibn Badis out of Ifriqiya, and Kairouan and al-Mahdiyya came under him. He built in Kairouan a house known as the Nasiriyya. 1
Ibn Khaldun relates that he won over the scholars and the righteous, and that he turned from the Shi'i doctrine to the doctrines of the people of the Sunna, so he gave the khutba for the Abbasid caliph. He then fought the Hilali Arabs, and his power grew until he was the king of Ifriqiya and the central Maghrib together. 1
Ibn Jahhaf
Ibn Khaldun relates that Ibn Jahhaf, the judge of Valencia, came to him, and al-Nasir honoured him. 1
