He also excelled in writing and literature, so it was known that he was A writer and poet. Many researchers have linked the snitching of some senior statesmen to the killing of Vizier Abu Jaafar, as Vizier Abu Jaafar bin Attia was the victim of the jealousy of the highest people over the rapprochement between the Caliph and the Vizier, which later led to the Vizier being accused of being loyal to the Almoravids, and thus the Caliph’s distance from him. And he was killed as a result.
