Abdallah ibn Malik al - Khuza ' i Abdallah ibn Malik al - Khuza ' i was a senior military leader and provincial governor of the early Abbasid Caliphate . Biography . Abdallah ' s father , Malik ibn al - Haytham al - Khuza ' i , was one of the earliest and most important leaders of the Abbasid movement in Khurasan , and of the Abbasid Revolution that overthrew the Umayyads . As senior members of the privileged " Khurasaniyya " , the Khurasani army that formed the main pillar of the new regime , Malik ' s family enjoyed access to positions of power . Thus Abdallah served first , according to Khalifa ibn Khayyat , as governor of Khurasan under Caliph al - Mansur ( r . 754 – 775 ) , and then succeeded his brother Hamza ( who in turn had succeeded the eldest brother Nasr ) as commander of the caliphal " shurta " towards the end of the reign of al - Mahdi ( r . 775 – 785 ) . He retained the post under al - Hadi ( r . 785 – 786 ) , during whose reign he was " one of the most prominent figures " ( Hugh N . Kennedy ) . During this period , he supported al - Hadi in his intention to remove his younger brother , Harun al - Rashid ( r . 786 – 809 ) , from the succession in favour of his own son , and urged al - Hadi to execute Yahya ibn Khalid ibn Barmak . Consequently , Abdallah ' s power diminished when Harun rose to the throne and during the period of the Barmakids ' dominance of the government , although he served as governor of Mosul in 789 – 781 . After the fall of the Barmakid family in early 803 , Abdallah once again assumed high offices : he served as commander of Harun ' s " shurta " , and in 805 became governor of Tabaristan , Hamadan and other western Iranian provinces . He participated in Harun ' s large - scale invasion of Byzantine Asia Minor in 806 . In the next year , he fought against the Khurramites , and in 808 he accompanied Harun to Khurasan for the suppression of the rebellion of Rafi ibn al - Layth . After Harun ' s death in Khurasan in early 809 , Abdallah remained in the province , joining the court of Harun ' s second heir , al - Ma ' mun ( r . 813 – 833 ) , at Marw . In the subsequent civil war between al - Ma ' mun and his half - brother , Caliph al - Amin ( r . 809 – 813 ) , he remained largely on the sidelines at Marw . He was one of several military leaders who refused to head al - Ma ' mun ' s government , a post which eventually fell to Fadl ibn Sahl . His relations with al - Ma ' mun were strained , but he accompanied him westwards and was with him when he entered Baghdad in 819 . Abdallah had two sons , Abbas and Muttalib . Abbas served governor of Rayy but was dismissed by al - Ma ' mun because of his support for al - Amin , while Muttalib played a " very tortuous role " ( Kennedy ) in the civil war and served twice as governor of Egypt .
