Overview

Idris ibn Yahya al-Hammudi, a Hammudid caliph in Málaga, of the line of Idris al-Alawi. Al-Maqqari mentions him in Nafh al-Tib in an account involving the poet Ibn Muqana al-Ishbuni. 2

The poem

Ibn Muqana came before his chamberlain and recited to him his well-known nuniyya ode. When he reached the description of his face, the caliph raised the curtain himself and said: "Look as you wish." He relaxed with the poet and treated him well. 2
