Muhàmmad ibn Llop

Muhammad ibn Lubb ibn Musa (, k. outskirts of Zaragoza, 898), was a Muslim lord who at different times held Zaragoza and Larida, on the Upper March of Al-Andalus.

Family Muhammad was son of Lubb ibn Musa (and thus grandson of the famous Musa ibn Musa ibn Qasi), from the prominent Muwallad Muslim Banu Qasi clan, of Visigothic or Hispano-Roman extraction. His mother was ʿAjub al-Balatuyya (Arabic: عَجَب البَلاطيَّة). He had at least six sons, Lubb, Musa, Yusuf, Abd Allah, Yunus and Mutarrif.

Biography

When his father and his uncles rebelled against emir Muhammad I of Córdoba, Muhammad ibn Lubb supported the emir leading an army that defeated his own uncle, Isma'il ibn Musa. Muhammad was succeeded by his son Lubb, who continued his siege of Zaragoza. His son Yunus briefly controlled Monzón but was unable to hold it against Muhammad al-Tawil. Quarrels among Muhammad ibn Lubb's sons and grandchildren, along with pressure from the Kingdom of Pamplona to the north and the Emirate of Córdoba to the south would lead to the complete dismantling of Banu Qasi power throughout the Ebro valley.
