He also advice his son not to disturb the African tribes inhabiting the gorges of the Atlas or the deserts to the south of Morocco, such as the Masmudah and others. To fight against the infidels, he advice his sons to conclude a peace with Ibn Hud, the Sultan Of Saragossa, in order to the Muslim to win against the Christian. Lastly, he also asked his son to fix his court at Seville, not at Cordova. His son, named ‘Ali, followed what Yusuf had told him.
