He expanded his power over Tlemcen and Hafsid Ifriqiya in North Africa, which combined included what is now Algeria and Tunisia's northern regions. Under him, the Marinid domains in the Maghreb briefly controlled a region comparable to that of the Almohad Caliphate that had come before. He was shipwrecked, lost a lot of his supporters, and was forced to flee as a result of an Arab tribal revolt. In Fez, his son Abu Inan Faris took over. In exile in the High Atlas highlands, Abu Al-Hasan passed away.
