أبو الحسن علي بن سعد سلطان غرناطة، ويُلقّب بمولاي حسن. يذكر المقري أنه استرسل في اللذات، وأثار أهل غرناطة بإدخاله حظيته الرومية ثريا دار الدولة. فخاف ابناه أبو عبد الله محمد وأبو الحجاج يوسف، فهربا إلى وادي آش، وبايعتهما المرية وبسطة وغرناطة، فهرب أبو الحسن إلى مالقة. 2

ولما أُسر ابنه أبو عبد الله في وقعة لشانة، أعاد كبراء غرناطة أبا الحسن إلى الملك. ثم أصابه مرض أذهب بصره، فخلع نفسه لأخيه أبي عبد الله ونزل بالمنكب وأقام بها إلى أن مات. 3

واقعة طريف وتمحيص المسلمين

Sultan Abu al-Hasan crossed in late 740 and encamped before Tarifa; Yusuf I of Granada joined him with the Andalus army, they ringed the town and set engines — but the Taghiya's second fleet sealed the Strait, starved the camp, and he mustered the Christian nations with Afonso of Portugal at his side; a hidden force he slipped into Tarifa by night burst on the Muslim rear as battle joined, their lines dissolved, the royal women were taken — Aisha the sultan's cousin and Fatima among them — and the Christian king's power over the Andalus frontier was sealed.
