Under Abu al - Abbas Ahmad (1524-1549), the Ouattasiden continued to lose influence over the Portuguese, marabouts, fraternities and especially the Saadiern in the south. However, succeeded his uncle Bou Hassoun as an energetic ruler to form an alliance with religious brotherhoods and the Ottomans and stop the Saadian their push north. Due to the threat even a peace with Portugal was closed. However, Abu al - Abbas Ahmad came in his campaign against the Saadian in 1527 in their captivity. Only through the assignment of Meknes Bou Hassoun could reach 1547 release of his nephew. Despite all the efforts he could not prevent the conquest of Fes by the Saadian in 1549.

Bou Hassoun fled first to Spain and even came into the German empire to move Charles V to intervene in Morocco. When he came to Algiers later, but he found support among the Ottomans. So Bou Hassoun could conquer Fes 1554 and defeat the Saadian year. However, he fell in the same year against the Saadian under Muhammad ech - Cheikh.
