Overview
Abu al-Hajjaj Yusuf ibn Isma'il ibn Nasr, sultan of Granada. According to Ibn Khaldun he was the successor of Abu al-Hasan al-Nasri in rule. He was the father of Muhammad V 1.
His death
He was killed by stabbing at the prayer-ground on the day of the Fitr festival in the year 755 AH, by a black man who had been planted for the purpose. Ibn Khaldun attributed the plot, by an account, to some of the slave-women of the palace.
