محمد بن يوسف بن هود
Muhammad ibn Yusuf Ibn Hud al-Judhami, who rose against the Almohads and took most of al-Andalus; he proclaimed the Abbasid caliph, and the investiture document and black robes arrived from Baghdad — its day 'resembling the day the black banners came out of Khurasan', and the Abbasid da'wa was preached again in al-Andalus 1.

Overview
Muhammad ibn Yusuf ibn Hud al-Judhami, who took control of al-Andalus at the end of the Almohad state. 2
The Abbasid call
He rose against the Almohads and called for the Abbasid caliph, whom most of the kings of the time obeyed. An Abbasid letter from Baghdad reached him appointing him to govern al-Andalus, with Abbasid robes of honour. Al-Maqqari says that his day resembled the day when the black banners came out of Khurasan. 2
Abu al-Mutarrif, judge of Shatiba, congratulated him in a well-known letter, in which he said that the Abbasid state was proclaimed in the lands of al-Andalus. 2
