Life
He was the son of Abu Said Aflah ibn Abd al-Wahhab, inheriting from his father after his 50-year rule in the year 872. During his reign, the actual governance was effectively in the hands of one of the close officials, Muhammad ibn Arafah, who oppressed his subjects. Dissatisfaction with his actions led to the uprising of the Berber tribe of Nafusi. Ibn Arafah was assassinated by order of Abu Bakr.[1]
Simultaneously, his brother Abu'l-Yaqzan, released from captivity among the Abbasids, swiftly overthrew Abu Bakr, Killing him and becoming the imam in the year 874.[2]
