When the latter became Sultan [[Muhammad IV of Granada|Muhammad IV]] at the age of ten, Ridwan remained in charge of him and acted as a sort of regent together with the Sultan's grandmother [[Fatima bint al-Ahmar]]. Muhammad appointed him as the in 1329, making him the highest-ranking minister at court. He remained in this position during the reign of Muhammad's successor [[Yusuf I of Granada|Yusuf I]] and the first reign (1354–1359) of [[Muhammad V of Granada|Muhammad V]], except for a brief pause during Yusuf's rule.
