Overview
Ali ibn Hammud al-Nasir li-Din Allah, the first of the Banu Hammud caliphs in al-Andalus, of the descent of Idris the Alid. Al-Maqqari says that he was among the great Berber amirs who supported Sulayman al-Musta'in when he entered Cordoba, and that he was given the allegiance as caliph in its palace on the day of Sulayman's killing. 2 See the Banu Hammud.
His rule and death
He sat for grievances and ordered a group of the Berbers killed. When news reached him that the Andalusians had set up al-Murtada the Umayyad, he turned a blind eye to the Berbers' oppression of the people of Cordoba. He was killed by young Slavs of the Banu Marwan in the bath on the first of Dhu al-Qa'da 408 AH, and his rule lasted twenty-one months and six days. 2
