Abu Nasr Sa'd ibn Ali ibn Yusuf was an important ruler of the Emirate of Granada. This was a Muslim kingdom in Al-Andalus, which is now part of Spain. He was part of the Nasrid dynasty, a powerful family that ruled Granada for a long time.

Abu Nasr Sa'd was also known by his special royal name, al-Musta'in bi-llah. This name means "he who looks for help to God." Christian writers of the time called him "Ciriza" or "Mulay Zad."
