Sakkut the Barghawati hajib; a slave of the shaykh Haddad of the Hammudid mawali, bought from Barghawata captives in their jihad days, who passed to Ali ibn Hammud where talent carried him until he seized their office and sat on their throne at Tangier and Ceuta with all Ghumara obeying him — into the Almoravid era, when Salih ibn Imran's host shattered him before Tangier in 471, his son Diya' al-Din falling back on Ceuta which al-Mu'izz ibn Yusuf stormed in 476; Sakkut, ill-answering the demand for treasure, was killed on the spot, and among his hoard they found the seal-ring of Yahya ibn Ali ibn Hammud — so ended the Hammudid state.
