This prince approached Abu-Assida and concluded an agreement with him that whichever died first was to be succeeded by the other with whom he finally reached an agreement; a treaty was signed by which the first to die would be succeeded by the other. He died in 1309 and according to this agreement his nephew Abu-l-Baqā Khalid was to be proclaimed emir, but instead a son of Abu Faris bin Ibrahim I, named Abu Yahya Abu Bakr I al-Shahid was proclaimed by the Almohad sheikhs of Tunis.
