Bādīs ibn al-Manṣūr (Template:Langx; 14 August 984 [1] - 10 May 1016), known fully as ʾAbū Manād Bādīs Nāṣir al-Dawla (Script error: No such module "Lang".), was the third ruler of the Zirids in Ifriqiya from 996 to 1016.
Badis ibn Mansur succeeded his father al-Mansur ibn Buluggin (Template:Reign) as viceroy of Ifriqiya on 8 April 996.Template:Sfn At the outset of his reign he faced a revolt by the Zenata Berbers, who threatened the Zirid domains from Tiaret to Tripoli. To focus on them, he left the eastern parts of his emirate in the hands of a deputy.Template:Sfn Throughout his reign, Badis also had to fend off Fatimid forays into Tripolitania.Template:Sfn
He stayed very close to his overlords, the Fatimids of Egypt,[2] on account of a power struggle amongst the Zirids - his right to rule was challenged by his great-uncle Zawi ibn Ziri, who was ultimately driven into Andalusia where he founded the Zirid dynasty of Granada (1012–1090).
By 1001, Badis had secured his position with a convincing victory over the Zenata, their allies the Maghrawa, and Zawi ibn Ziri.Template:Sfn This success was largely due to another great-uncle, Hammad ibn Buluggin, who defeated another Zenatan attack in 1004/5, and in 1007/8 established the castle of Qal'a.Template:Sfn In 1014, Hammad rose in revolt, and Badis marched against him in May 1015. On 17 October, Badis won a great victory over Hammad at Chelif, but was unable to take Qal'a, being forced to lay siege to the fortress instead.Template:Sfn The siege was still ongoing when Badis died, on 10 May 1016.Template:Sfn
His death made the separation of the Hammadid state from the Zirids inevitable,Template:Sfn while the anti-Shi'a riots that broke out in Tunis during his last year signalled the eventual break between the Zirids and their Fatimid overlords under Badis' son and successor, al-Mu'izz.Template:Sfn His sister, Saïda bint Mansour, was appointed regent of his son as he ascended the throne a minor.[3]
