Abu Muhammad Abd al-Wahid ibn Abi Hafs

Abu Muhammad Abd al-Wahid ibn Abi Hafs al-Hintati (Arabic: أبو محمد عبد الواحد بن أبي حفص, d. 25 February 1221), or simply Abd al-Wahid, was the Almohad governor of Ifriqiya from 1207 to 1221 and the father of the first Hafsid sultan Abu Zakariya Yahya.

Abd al-Wahid belonged to the Hintata, a Berber tribe of the High Atlas mountains of Morocco.

[2][3] Before leaving for Morocco, the caliph entrusted the administration of the province of Abd al-Wahid, one of his trusted lieutenants.

This strengthened the authority of Abd al-Wahid to such an extent that his successors ceased to consider themselves governors and freed themselves from the rule of the Almohads in 1229.

Abd al-Wahid was succeeded by his eldest son Abdullah ibn Abd al-Wahid, but he had barely declared independence when he was overthrown by his brother Abu Zakaria Yahya I, who strengthened his throne and forced his brother to agree to the title of Sheikh and devote himself to religious life.
