Overview
Abu al-Hasan Ali ibn Mazyad al-Asadi, the chief of the Banu Mazyad. Ibn Khaldun says that he was the founder of their affair, and places him in the line of the rulers of the Mazyadid state. 1
His conduct
He sought revenge for his brother Abu al-Ghana'im, who was killed in 401 AH. He defeated the Banu Dubays, killed Hassan and Nabhan, and seized the Dubaysi island. 1
Fakhr al-Dawla entrusted him with its affair, except al-Tayyib and Qarqub. Later Mudar ibn Dubays rose against him and took it from him. 1
Death
He died in 408 AH (about 1017 CE; the conversion is derived). His son Dubays had come to power in his lifetime: Sultan al-Dawla invested him and authorised his governorship. 1
