Английская Википедия:Al-Haytham ibn Ubayd al-Kilabi
Al-Haytham ibn Ubayd al-Kilabi,Шаблон:Efn also called al-Kinani[1] (Шаблон:Lang-ar), was the tenth governor of al-Andalus under the Umayyad Caliphate in AD 729–730 (AH 111).Шаблон:Sfn He was one of a series of Arabs from Ifriqiya who served as governors in al-Andalus from 721 to 731.Шаблон:Sfn
He succeeded Uthman ibn Abi Nis'a al-Khath'ami in April 729. According to the Mozarabic Chronicle (754)Шаблон:Efn he reigned one year. The Prophetic Chronicle (883) gives him a more precise term of ten months, while Ibn Habib (878/9) gives him a shorter term of four months.Шаблон:Sfn The seventeenth-century Arabic historian al-Maqqari has him ruling down to March 731, a year longer than any other source.Шаблон:Sfn
According to the Mozarabic Chronicle, which is the earliest source by far, al-Haytham was appointed by the governor of Ifriqiya to replace Uthman.Шаблон:Sfn His term, which is characterised as "troubled" by the chronicler, culminated in an attempted coup d'état:
After Haytham had ruled in a troubled state for ten months, he found out—I do not know by what craft—that some Arabs wished to remove him from power. He captured them and eventually extracted with whips the various details of the rebellion. After torturing them, he cut off their heads, as he had been secretly ordered to do by his counterparts on the other side of the sea.[2]
The relatives of some of those executed appealed to the governor of Ifriqiya, who "not many days later" sent a certain Muhammad with an authorization to replace al-Haytham with Abd al-Rahman ibn Abd Allah al-Ghafiqi, who had previously served as interim governor in 721. According to Ibn al-Athir, al-Haytham died in office in February or March 730 and was replaced by al-Ghafiqi, but the Mozarabic Chronicle is more trustworthy here.Шаблон:Sfn It recounts that al-Ghafiqi could not immediately be found and so Muhammad "not many days later" arrested al-Haytham and brought him back with him to Ifriqiya. He was succeeded by Muhammad ibn Abd Allah al-Ashja'i.[2]
