Abd al-Wahid succeeded his father Abu Al al-Mamun , who died in a campaign against Yahya , who took control of the capital Marrakesh . The rule of al-Wahid marked the beginning of the final stage in the collapse of the state of Almohad. He was unable to oust Yahya from Marrakesh, and the emir of Tlemcen declared his independence in 1236 , having established the Abdalvadid dynasty (following the example of the Hafsids in Tunisia ).

In 1242 , al-Wahid ordered the governor to gather forces to counter Abu Yahya ibn Abd al-Haqq, the founder of the Marinid state, who captured Fes . However, in December of the same year, the caliph died under unclear circumstances in his own palace (according to some, he drowned in the pool, and according to others, he died from a fall from a height). He was succeeded by his brother, Ali Abul-Hassan al-Saeed .
