The Ḥasanids (Arabic: بنو الحسن, romanized: Banū al-Ḥasan or حسنيون, Ḥasanīyyūn) are the descendants of Ḥasan ibn ʿAlī, brother of Ḥusayn ibn ʿAlī and grandson of Muhammad. They are a branch of the Alids (the descendants of ʿAlī ibn Abī Ṭālib), and one of the two most important branches of the ashrāf (the other being the descendants of Ḥasan's brother Ḥusayn ibn ʿAlī, the Ḥusaynids).[1]
In Morocco, the term is particularly applied to the descendants of Muhammad al-Nafs al-Zakiyya, to distinguish them from the Idrisid dynasty, which is also of Ḥasanid descent. The Moroccan Ḥasanids proper have produced two dynasties, the Saadi dynasty and the Alawite dynasty, which still reign over the country.[1]
