al-Maqqari, in "Nafh al-Tib", reports that the Christians broke the terms of the surrender of Granada one after another, until the Muslims were compelled to convert to Christianity in 904 AH. ²

According to al-Maqqari, the priests wrote that everyone who had converted from Christianity must be forced back to Christianity. A Muslim was then told that his grandfather had been a Christian, so he must return. The people of al-Bayyazin rose against the rulers and killed them. A ruling was issued that whoever rose against the ruler would be punished by death, unless he became Christian. ²

Villages including Balfiq and Andarash refused, so the enemy gathered forces against them, killed them and took them captive. al-Maqqari mentions that the people of Jabal Balfaqa killed a great number of the enemy, and that they were taken out under safe-conduct to Fez. ²

He adds that those who professed Christianity while secretly worshipping God and praying were watched closely by the Christians, who burned many of them and prevented them even from carrying a small knife. ²

The date of the event is derived. The report rests on one source, a late Islamic one. It needs an additional source.
