Abu Zayyan celebrated the victory in Algeciras and sent the head of Nuño González to Granada. This probably offended Muhammad, who abhorred this type of cruelty and might have respected or even befriended his former ally. He embalmed the head in musk and camphor and sent it to Castile to be interred properly with his body. Marinid sources portrayed this as an attempt by Muhammad to "court [Alfonso's] friendship". At this point, the Marinids became more friendly with the Banu Ashqilula and less sympathetic towards Muhammad.
