In 1075 he defeated Jordan of Hauteville, the son of Grand Count Roger I, at Catania, and he reconquered the city in 1081. In 1085 he led some expeditions to Reggio, in Calabria. On 25 May 1086, while Roger I was besieging Syracuse, he fell into the sea while jumping from one boat to the other, and died because of his heavy armor. His wife and his son fled to the city of Noto, which also fell together with Butera, in 1091.
One of his descendants, Muhammad ibn ‘Abbād, rebelled to Frederick of Sicily at the start of the 13th century, dying during the rebellion.
