- Although Ibn Khaldūn makes no mention of Musā b. Raḥḥū’s participation
in the rebellion, Ibn al- Khaṭīb, Iḥāṭa, IV: 78 , confirms that he did. See also Man-
zano Rodríguez, La intervención, 343. - Ibn Khaldūn, Kitāb al- ‘ibar, VII: 190 – 91 , 383.
- Ibn Khaldūn, Kitāb al- ‘ibar, VII: 381. The maḥalla was a demonstration of
force, a regular and punitive mission through his territory by the Almohad caliph
to establish his authority. See Jocelyne Dakhlia, “Dans la mouvance du prince: la
symbolique du pouvoir itinérant au Maghreb,” Annales 3 ( 1988 ): 735 – 60 ; and Ma-
ribel Fierro, “Algunas reflexiones sobre el poder itinerante almohade,” e- Spania 8
( 2009 ), [Online], URL : http://e- spania.revues.org /18653. - Ibn Khaldūn, Kitāb al- ‘ibar, VII: 379 , 381 , cit. 379 : “So, they departed for
al- Andalus in 661 and had a great impact on the jihād, which brought great honor
to their positions.... And many of the Zanāta princes (aqyāl) aspired to imitate
their deeds. In the central Maghrib, the likes of ‘Abd al- Malik b. Yaghmurāsan b.
Zayyān, ‘Iyād b. Mandīl b. ‘Abd al- Raḥmān, and Zayyān b. Muḥammad b. ‘Abd
al- Qawī gathered and undertook to cross over for the jihād. So, they crossed with
whoever surrounded them (khaffa ma‘hum) from their tribes in the year 676. So
al- Andalus was filled with princes and men of royal stock (a‘yāṣ al- malik).” Cf. Ibn
al- Khaṭīb, Iḥāṭa, I: 136 ; and idem, al- Lamḥa, 39 , which mention other tribes. - The remnants of a zāwiyā, a religious instution, in the Rábita de Albuñol,
a fortress from which Ghuzāh raids were launched, hints at the ritual and devo-
tional practices of the ascetic warriors who manned the front lines. See also Arié,
