Al-Khaṭīb transmitted from him and pronounced him trustworthy (1). He died in 434 AH.

83 – Jahwar ibn Muḥammad ibn Jahwar ibn ʿUbayd Allāh *
He became the head, emir, and ruler of Córdoba after the outbreak of the civil wars in the Peninsula. Installing himself as caretaker of the city until someone fit for the throne could be found, he lived for seventy-one years.

He narrated from ʿAbbās ibn Aṣbagh, Abū ʿAbd Allāh ibn Mufarrij, and Khalaf ibn al-Qāsim.

Formerly one of the ministers of the ʿĀmirid regime, he was a man of consummate qualities—cunning, sound judgment, nobility, and personal restraint.

He seized control of Córdoba without adopting any princely title and without moving from his own house. He placed the public treasuries in the hands of a group of trustees, organized the marketplace folk into military units, supplied them with funds on a profit-sharing basis, and distributed weapons among them. He would visit the sick and attend funerals, all the while dressed in the garb of ascetics.

He remained in authority until his death in Muḥarram 435 AH. After him, leadership likewise passed to his son, the emir Abū al-Walīd (2) Muḥammad ibn Jahwar.
