Musa Ibn Mus'ab Al-Khath'ami
Musa ibn Mus'ab al-Khath'ami () (died 785) was a provincial governor for the Abbasid Caliphate, serving at various times over the Jazira, Mosul, and Egypt. Career Described as a ''mawla'' of the tribe of Khath'am, Musa was the son of Mus'ab ibn Rabi', a secretary to the last Umayyad caliph Marwan II who later submitted to the Abbasids during the Abbasid Revolution. He himself appears to have enjoyed close relations with the Abbasid ruling family, having reportedly been a milk brother to the third caliph al-Mahdi at Humayma. During the reign of al-Mansur (), Musa was appointed on multiple occasions as governor of the Jazira and Mosul. While there he enacted severe taxation policies which led to widespread unrest and earned a lengthy condemnation of his activities in the Chronicle of Pseudo-Dionysius of Tell-Mahre. Al-Mahdi nevertheless returned him to the same post in 783–784, during which he carried out the caliph's plans to construct an enlargement of the Friday mosque in ...

Al-Muktafi
Abū Muḥammad ʿAlī ibn Aḥmad ibn Ṭalḥa ibn Jaʿfar ibn Muḥammad ibn Hārūn al-Muktafī bi'Llāh (; 877/78 – 13 August 908), better known by his regnal name al-Muktafī bi-Llāh (), was the caliph of the Abbasid Caliphate from 902 to 908. More liberal and sedentary than his militaristic father al-Mu'tadid, al-Muktafi essentially continued his policies, although most of the actual conduct of government was left to his viziers and officials. His reign saw the defeat of the Qarmatians of the Syrian Desert, and the reincorporation of Egypt and the parts of Syria ruled by the Tulunid dynasty. The war with the Byzantine Empire under the Macedonian dynasty, Byzantine Empire continued with alternating success, although the Arabs scored a major victory in the Sack of Thessalonica (904), Sack of Thessalonica in 904.

In 882/3 he succeeded his father, Isa ibn al-Shaykh, as the virtually independent ruler of Diyar Bakr, and soon expanded his control over parts of southern Armenia as well. He gained control over Mosul as well in 891/2, but faced with a resurgent Abbasid Caliphate, he was deprived of the city and forced into a position of vassalage by Caliph al-Mu'tamid. Shortly after his death in 898, the Caliph deprived his son and heir, Muhammad, of the last territories remaining under the family's control. Life Ahmad was the son of Isa ibn al-Shaykh al-Shaybani.

Eventually he was compelled to leave Palestine and assume the governorship of Armenia, but unable to enforce ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Life He was the son of Ishaq ibn Kundaj, a Turkic strongman who had established himself, with sanction from the Abbasid court, as the ruler of Mosul in 879.

Already in the next year, however, he was driven from Mosul by a rival strongman, Ahmad ibn Isa al-Shaybani. In 893, the new Caliph al-Mu'tadid campaigned in the Jazira, aiming to re-establish direct caliphal control over the region. The Caliph seized Mosul and appointed his own governor there over much of the Jazira. Ahmad retreated to Amid, while Muhammad fled to the Tulunids in Palestine. After the assassination of the Tulunid ruler Khumarawayh in 896, Muhammad was among those members of the court who tried to assassinate Khumarawayh's successor, Jaysh. The plot was betrayed to Jaysh, and ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Initially active in lower Iraq in the early 870s, he came to be appointed governor of Mosul in the Jazira (Upper Mesopotamia, in modern northern Iraq) in 879/80.

Harthama Ibn A'yan
Harthama ibn A'yan (; died June 816) was a Khurasan-born general and governor of the early Abbasid Caliphate, serving under the caliphs al-Hadi, Harun al-Rashid and al-Ma'mun. He played an important role in the victory of al-Ma'mun in the Abbasid civil war, but was executed at his orders when he protested against the power of the Sahlid family that dominated his court.

Yahya Ibn Sa'id Al-Harashi
Yahya ibn Sa'id al-Harashi () was an eighth-century military commander and official for the Abbasid Caliphate. He served as the governor of several provinces during his career, including Egypt, Arminiyah and Mosul. Background The sources give differing details of Yahya's name and origins. Historians such as al-Ya'qubi and al-Azdi call him "Yahya ibn Sa'id al-Harashi," while al-Tabari omits the patronymic and merely refers to him as "Yahya al-Harashi." Egyptian authors such as al-Kindi and Ibn Taghribirdi, on the other hand, describe him "Yahya ibn Dawud al-Kharsi," but Orientalists Eduard von Zambaur and Patricia Crone consider the latter form to be a likely corruption of his actual name. Crone identifies Yahya as a descendant of Sa'id ibn Amr al-Harashi, an Arab general and governor of Khurasan for the Umayyad Caliphate. Al-Kindi, providing a variant background, claims that Yahya was descended from a foreign father and a mother who was the aunt of the king of Tabaristan, and tha ...
