Career
Under his reign the Abdelwadid Kingdom of Tlemcen extended over present-day north-western Algeria and eastern Morocco. He was of the Zenata Berber tribe. He was successful in his military campaigns against the Merinids and the Maqil Arab tribe.
He commented about this claim and famously said in his native Berber language:
"If this is true, it will benefit us in God"s heaven.
But we conquered this low earth by our swords "
In his commentary on the hagiographic book of Ibn al-Zayyat al-Tadili (Attashawof), Ahmed Toufiq explains that Yaghmur in Berber means "the virile/Stallion" whereas the prefix asen means "to them". Thereby giving "Yaghmurasen" a meaning close to "To prevail over them".
