's first contact with the Arabs Tadla occurred during passage of the conqueror Oqba Ibn Nafaa (Arab general sent 670) returning Sus to Islamize Haskura. When Idris I conquered Tadla in 172/789, he found a small number of Muslims, the majority of the population was still composed of Jews or Christians.
In the year 202/818, the Andalusian Arabs fleeing Spain following the revolution of Rabad (Faubourg de Cordoba), settled in Tadla, a few years later, other Arabs followed the Fez when Emirate Idrissids was created in this region.
The great Arab emigration occur until the late sixth / XIIth when Almohads had decided to move to Morocco Bedouin Arab Banu Hilal and Banu who Sulaym foothold in Tunisia. The Arabs then spread in the country; Ibn Khaldun says about this:
"The Arab immigrants and Djusham Ryah inhabited the plains, Morocco was overwhelmed by countless peoples."
After the assassination of Yahya b. Almohad Nasir in 1236, the Banu Jabir, another fraction of Djusham, flocked to the Tadla and settled in the foothills surrounding the Snaga established on the peaks and plateaus. Banu Djabir sometimes ventured into the plains, but soon they feared a threat from the central government or a ruthless leader, they retreated into the mountains from their Berber allies. The
Saadian in turn, brought the Arabs Ma'kil Tadla, from Yemen. This heterogeneous population branching out over time, its branches are interpenetrated in an Arab-Berber interbreeding, creating a composite community living in harmony and solidarity.
For its strategic location between North and South and control of the road between the two imperial cities Fez and Marrakesh, in addition to its natural resources, Tadla has consistently been of particular interest from all the dynasties of Morocco. Each of them wanted to strengthen his power over the region by appointing representatives high level, with great influence. But these precautions n'empêchèrent no disturbances to erupt from time to time, giving rise to serious military confrontation, especially with each change of dynasty. These conflicts
rebounded annoyingly on the urban system in the region: the cities are destroyed and rebuilt, others disappear and their rubble of new cities are high. Thus in the Middle Ages the city was the metropolis of Tadla, who gave his name to the whole province, Al Himyari wrote in his al-Rawd al mi'tar:
"It's an ancient city where there's Remains of old. " In its
Nuzhat al-Mushtaha, al-Idrisi adds
"The City of Tadla ranked first in the production of cotton and exporting large quantities in all directions and was in the Maghreb al-Aqsa in the main raw manufacturing cotton goods, so that the people of this country did not need to import
