He was the son of Moha (or Mouha) Ou Aqqa, the tribal leader of Ayt Harkat.
His father Moha (Mouha) ou Aqqa was the tribal leader of Ayt Harkat.
After the death of Ou Aqqa, his oldest son, Said, succeeded him and extended his dominance over his tribe and the Zayane confederation.
Despite the victory, Zayani could not secure Khénifra and retired to the region of Taoujgalt, where he recruited more men and prepared for further attacks against the French army.
On 27 March 1921, Mouha was killed in a battle at Azelag N'Tazemourte against his son Hassan, who led a Zayane detachment.
