الخلع العباسية على ابن هود
الخلع العباسية على ابن هود
c. 1228 CE · c. 626 AH
Ibn Hud, having risen against the Almohads and taken al-Andalus, proclaimed the Abbasid caliph; the investiture document and black robes arrived from Baghdad, and the qadi Abu l-Mutarrif congratulated him that its day resembled the day the black banners came out of Khurasan — the Abbasid da'wa preached once more in al-Andalus 1.

Overview
al-Maqqari, in "Nafh al-Tib", reports that Ibn Hud rose against the Almohads, seized al-Andalus, and called for the Abbasid caliph. He mentions that most rulers of that time acknowledged his authority. 1
The letter of appointment and congratulation
An Abbasid letter from Baghdad, granting Ibn Hud the governorship of al-Andalus, reached Ibn Hud. Abu al-Mutarrif, judge of Shatiba, congratulated him with a letter describing the Abbasid robes of honour and what of them had been displayed to people's eyes. It concludes that the Abbasid state was prayed for in the lands of al-Andalus. 1
Needs an additional source: the date of about 626 AH is taken from the context of the revolt; the conversion is derived.
