Abdullah ibn Muhammad

Abdallah became Emir of Cordoba after the death of his brother. Under him, the war continued with Umar ibn Hafsun , who subjugated most of southern Spain. In 891, Ibn Hafsun was defeated and lost part of the territory he had previously occupied. Emir Abdallah ordered in the cities he captured to slaughter all Christians. The following year, Ibn Hafsun recovered from defeat and returned all lost territories back. In 901, peace was concluded between the emir and ibn Hafsun, but the very next year the war between them resumed, and did not stop until the death of Abdullah in 912.

In addition to the war with Umar ibn Hafsun, Abdallah led unsuccessful wars throughout the reign with the Asturian king Alfonso III and the renegade Visigothic family Banu Kasi , who controlled the Ebro river valley.

By the end of Abdullah’s reign, various clans of power had more power than the emir, who really controlled only Cordova and its environs. In 912, he died, appointing his grandson Abd ar-Rahman III as his successor.
