Overview
Abd al-Wahid ibn al-Mamun, titled al-Rashid, one of the rulers of the Almohad state, and the son of al-Ma'mun. He was given the allegiance after his father died in 630 AH, and ruled until he was killed in 640 AH. 1
Rule
Ibn Khaldun relates that he defeated Yahya ibn al-Nasir and entered Marrakesh. The Almohad shaykhs made it a condition that he restore the forms of the Mahdist call that his father had erased, and it was restored. He plotted to lure the lord of the Khalt, Mas'ud ibn Hamidan, and killed him. 1
The Gregorian date of his death (1242 CE) is derived from the Hijri date, and is recorded as "the best-known dates".
