At the time of the Arab migration to the Maghreb in the 11th century, their chief was Munis bin Yahya of the family of Mirdas.
[4] At the time of the migration, Banu Hilal were very numerous, effectively a nation divided into its own sub-tribes, of which the most notable were the Athbaj, Riyah, Jusham, Zughba, Adi, and Qurra.
The leader of Banu Marin Abd al-Haqq I was killed in the battle and the Marinids were repelled from the region of eastern Morocco for a long time.
[7] Ibn Abi Zar recorded this battle and identified the Riyah Arabs as the strongest tribe in the Maghreb.
[5] Over time they were settled in present-day Morocco along with the tribes of Khult and Zughba, beginning the rural Arabization of the western Maghreb.
