چکیده:
In the history of Andalusia, there were prominent figures and clans that left different influences on the fate of this land. One of these clans is the Banu Amir, who appeared seriously on the political scene in the second half of the fourth century, when the Umayyad state had passed a period of authority and greatness, and soon took control of affairs in this country. Three members of this clan held the position of Hajib for more than three decades, serving as absolute rulers of Andalusia, while the Umayyad Caliph had no interference in the administration of the country under their oppression. However, various factors turned this authority into decline, including despotism in domestic politics, recklessness in foreign policy, and ignoring the power of the main elements of the government. Nevertheless, the Amirids and some of their dependents, after the destruction of their political power in the central government, were able to rule some areas of Andalusia as Taifa kings for a short time, which, due to their political and military weakness, were soon absorbed into more powerful emirates.

The descendants of Abd al-Malik gradually gained status in Cordoba near the Marwanid emirs, including Abu Amir Muhammad ibn Walid, to whom the Banu Amir are attributed, and his son Amir, who held emirate over some areas of Andalusia and died in Cordoba (Ibn Idhari, 752/2).
Muhammad ibn Abi Amir, while trying to bring himself closer to Ja'far Musahfi the Hajib and gain his trust, found greater proximity to him by carrying out the wishes and orders of al-Mustansir in the Maghreb (Ibn Idhari, 852/2; Tilmisani, 78/4), and until the time of his death, al-Mustansir entrusted him with even more important responsibilities.
In the year 563 AH, Muhammad was tasked with securing the oath of allegiance (bay'ah) for Hisham, the son of the Caliph (Ibn Idhari, 952/2), and then the task of constructing a palace in western Cordoba was entrusted to him, where al-Mustansir intended to move the seat of government.
In 173 AH, after his fourth battle with the northern Christians, in which he advanced to the city of Zamora (the center of Castile), Muhammad ibn Abi Amir received the title Al-Mansur from the Caliph, and it was decreed that his name be mentioned in the khutbah alongside the name of Hisham al-Mu'ayyad, struck on coins, and written on textiles.
He attacked the city of Zamora1, the center of Galicia2, several times, and in the year 173 AH, he defeated its king, Rodmir3 III, and devastated the city (al-Udhri, 77; Ibn al-Khatib, A'mal al-A'lam, 67; Ibn Khaldun, 132/4) and again in 373 AH, he conquered this city and appointed a Muslim emir over it.
