Life

He succeeded his brother Abd al-Wahid II in a period in which the Almohads controlled only parts of present-day Morocco. During his reign, he tried to recover Meknes from the Marinids and Tlemcen from the Zayyanids. As-Said was able to obtain a contingent from the Marinids who made a nominal submission to him, but was killed by the Zayyanids in the Battle of Oujda after which his head was taken and ordered to be shown to his mother.[1][2]

The Marinids then took the opportunity to conquer Fes, reducing the Almohads’ effective control to the Marrakesh area.
