Jewish general of the eighth century; appointed by Tariḳ; fought valiantly at Xerez against the Visigoths at the head of his army of Jews and Berbers, and occupied a part of Catalonia. He rose against the tyrannical Al-Ḥurr ibn 'Abd al-Raḥman, governor of Spain. Al-Ḥurr attacked him with a superior army and compelled him to retreat toward Lerida. There he was defeated, taken, and executed (718). The Jews in his army, pursued by Al-Ḥurr, were hospitably received by their coreligionists in the cities of Catalonia.
