At an early age, Ibn Shaddad lost his father and he was raised by his maternal uncles the Banu Shaddad, from whom he got his name 'Ibn Shaddad'. [5] About 1173, he returned to Mosul as mudarris ("professor"). [4] In 1188, returning from Hajj, ibn Shaddād was summoned by Saladin who had read and been impressed by his writings. [4]

Baha ad-Din ibn Shaddad, Saladin's aide, suggested that there was a heretical leader in Yemen who was claiming to be the messiah, and that this was the principal reason that Saladin dispatched Turanshah to conquer the region.

Egyptian effective command was under Saladin's nephew Taqi ad-Din. Taqi ad-Din apparently attacked while Saladin was putting his Mamluk guard together. As was hoped, Baldwin's army caught a portion of Saladin's army off guard. It turned out that Saladin himself led that section. Saladin called scouts to summon all the immediate sections for help.
