766:, captured Aleppo from Ibn Mulhim, after defeating a Fatimid expeditionary force led by Nasir al-Dawla ibn Hamdan. In response, Caliph al-Mustansir stripped Thimal of his holdings along the Syrian coast, to which Thimal protested, claiming his innocence of the affairs in Aleppo. He accepted a proposal by the caliph to recognize him as emir of Aleppo once again in return for ousting Mahmud. Thimal departed Cairo and upon reaching Homs, summoned the Kilab to support him. A large part of the tribe heeded his call and marched with him to the gates of Aleppo, which he reached in January 1061. His initial siege was called off upon the arrival of Mahmud's Numayrid reinforcements and a smaller part of the Kilab, with whom Mahmud pursued Thimal and the rest of the Kilab. Thimal defeated Mahmud, who withdrew to Aleppo and appealed for the intervention of the Kilabi chiefs. The latter mediated an end to the fighting whereby Mahmud surrendered Aleppo to Thimal on 23 April in return for significant payment in cash and grain and a yearly salary. 635:, while conferring lower-ranking imperial titles on al-Sayyida al-Alawiyya and six other members of the Mirdasid household. Thimal thus became a vassal of Byzantium in the same way Nasr had been. In Zakkar's estimation, Thimal had been motivated to seek Byzantine protection out of fears that the Fatimids would at one point or another turn against him. Though al-Mustansir confirmed Thimal's governorship in 1045, tensions between Thimal and al-Mustansir increased when the former only partially restored to the Fatimids the 400,000 or 600,000 dinars left in Aleppo's citadel by al-Dizbari. Further straining ties was Thimal's discontinuation of the annual 20,000 dinar tribute to al-Mustansir. 493:
Aleppo. Subsequent to the Mirdasids' victory, Thimal left Aleppo to bring back his family to the city, but during his absence Nasr seized the citadel and became the sole Mirdasid emir of Aleppo. Thimal sought to regain the city and to that end, gained the support of most of the Banu Kilab. Most likely in response to this threat, Nasr appealed for Byzantine protection and entered Byzantine vassalage in May 1031. The chieftains of the Banu Kilab ultimately mediated a reconciliation between Thimal and Nasr whereby the former would rule the Upper Mesopotamian portion of the Mirdasid emirate from al-Rahba while Nasr would rule the Syrian portion from Aleppo.

The delegates paid the caliph 40,000 dinars, which amounted to two years of unpaid tribute. Al-Sayyida al-Alawiyya declared the Mirdasids' loyalty to the Fatimids and beckoned al-Mustansir to "grant peace and protection" to Aleppo. Al-Mustansir subsequently confirmed Thimal's authority over Aleppo and the other territories of his realm. 671:. The Byzantine emperor unsuccessfully attempted to persuade al-Mustansir to halt the advance and consequently dispatched two armies to oversee developments in northern Syria. To prevent their utilization by the Fatimids, Muqallid demolished the fortifications of Ma'arrat al-Nu'man and Hama.
