Yahya Ibn Sa'id Al-Harashi

	Yahya Ibn Sa'id Al-Harashi Yahya ibn Sa'id al-Harashi ( ar, يحيى بن سعيد الحرشي) was an eighth-century military commander and official for the Abbasid Caliphate with Turkish origin.

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.

The Abbasid Caliphate first centered its government in Kufa, modern-day Iraq, but in 762 the caliph Al-Mansur founded the city of Baghdad, near the ancient Babylonian capital city of Babylon. Baghdad became the center of science, culture and invention in what became known as the Golden Age of Islam. This, in addition to housing several key academic institutions, including the House of Wisdom, as well as a multiethnic and multi-religious environment, garnered it a worldwide reputation as the ...
