Master of entire Spain, from Catalonia to the two seas, the first caliph died A.D. 788, Heg. 172, after a glorious reign of thirty years, leaving the crown to his son Hacchem, the third of his eleven sons. After the death of Abderamus the empire was disturbed by revolts, and by wars between the new caliph and his brothers, his uncles, or other princes of the royal blood.
Divided among themselves, the Christian kings entertained no designs of disturbing their infidel neighbours. The truce that existed between the Mussulmans and Castile and Leon was broken but once during the life of El Hacchem.
That the wise Hacchem did nothing to enfeeble it, may be judged from the following illustration. A poor woman of Zahra possessed a small field contiguous to the gardens of the caliph. El Hacchem, wishing to erect a pavilion there, directed that the owner should be requested to dispose of it to him.
