ヤズィード1世
An Arab from Palestine, Sa'id ibn Yazid was appointed by Caliph Yazid I to succeed Maslama ibn Mukhallad al-Ansari as governor of Egypt after the latter's death in early 682. Although he tried to present an image of continuity by keeping Maslama's "sahib al-shurta" (head of security and "de facto" deputy), 'Abis ibn Sa'id al-Muradi, the local Arab settler community ("wujuh") were opposed to him as an outsider.
