Muhammad year-Nâsir (الناصرلديناللهمحمدبنالمنصور year-nāṣir Li-dīn allah muḥammad Ben Al-manṣūr) born with an unknown date. It succeeded his father Abû Yûsuf Ya' qûb Al-Mansûr like Caliph Almohade in 1199. He died poisoned in 1213.

History

Timid and solitary young man, it inherited an unstable empire. For a time removed from the Christian threat in Spain thanks to the victories of his father, it concentrated his efforts against the Almoravides of Ifriqiya. It gave to Abû Muhammad Ben Abî Hafs the responsibility to control this state, taken again thanks to him in Almoravides (about 1215). It contributed thus involuntarily to the foundation of the dynasty Hafside which reigned on the Tunisia (Ifriqiya) until 1574.

Year-Nâsir thus let Hafsides deal with Ifriqiya while it moved towards Spain to answer the threat of the news Croisade issued by the Pape. The Christian army overcame Almohades with Las Navas de Tolosa (العُقَاب Al `uqāb, Al `Uqâb ) (1212). The advance of the Christian troops was stopped only by the plague. Year-Nâsir returned to Morocco to abdicate in favor of his/her son Yûsuf Al-Mustansir. He died some time afterwards in obscure circumstances.

He had as viziers:

  • Abû Zayd Ben Yûjân (1198-1199) (أبوزيدبنيوجان abū zayd Ben yūjān)
  • Abû Muhammad Ben ach-Chaykh Abî Hafs (1199-1205) (أبومحمدبنالشيخأبيحفص abū muḥammad Ben aš-šayḫ abī ḥafs) which was named governor of Ifriquiya and founded the dynasty of the Hafsides.
  • Abû Its `îd Ben Jâm `I (1205-1214) (أبوسعيدبنجامع abū its `īd Ben jām `I)
