تينملل

In 674 the Almohad remnant, who had sworn to Ishaq brother of Umar al-Murtada in 669, stood to their last refuge at Mount Tinmel — cradle of their da'wa, their imam's house and their Mahdi's mosque; Muhammad ibn Ali ibn Mahalla, Abu Yusuf's governor of Marrakesh, stormed the height, killed their puppet caliph and the vizier Ibn Attush in the battle, beheaded and crucified the captives at Marrakesh, scattered the Almohad caliphs' tombs and exhumed the bodies of Yusuf and his son Ya'qub al-Mansur to cut off their heads — the work of Abu Ali al-Milyani whom the sultan had enfeoffed with Aghmat; the sultan disowned the deed for its enormity yet pardoned it for the man's fealty — and the seed of Banu Abd al-Mu'min was cut off.
