Abd al-Wahid ibn Abdallah (Шаблон:Lang-ar), known as al-Nasri or al-Nadri, was an eighth-century governor of Medina, Mecca and al-Ta'if from 723 to 724.

Career

Abd al-Wahid held various posts during the reign of the Umayyad caliph Yazid ibn Abd al-Malik, initially serving as the governor of Homs at an unspecified date[1] and then of al-Ta'if in 721/2. In 723 he was additionally appointed as governor of Medina and Mecca,[2] and in that same year he was selected to act as the leader of the pilgrimage.[3]

Upon his appointment to Medina, Abd al-Washid carried out the caliph's instructions to fine and torture the previous governor Abd al-Rahman ibn al-Dahhak ibn Qays al-Fihri for his conduct against Fatimah bint al-Husayn. In contrast to his predecessor he made sure to maintain good relations with the city elites and regularly consulted with the local notables al-Qasim ibn Muhammad ibn Abi Bakr and Salim ibn Abdallah ibn Uthman, with the result that his administration soon became extremely popular among the Medinese.[4] His initial choice to lead the judiciary of Medina was Sa'd ibn Ibrahim ibn Abd al-Rahman al-Zuhri, but he eventually dismissed him and replaced him with Sa'id ibn Sulayman ibn Zayd al-Ansari instead.[5]

Following the death of Yazid in January 724 Abd al-Wahid was initially confirmed in his governorships by Hisham ibn Abd al-Malik, but responsibility for the pilgrimage of that year was given to the new caliph's uncle Ibrahim ibn Hisham ibn Isma'il al-Makhzumi. In November of that year Hisham decided to appoint Ibrahim as governor of Medina, Mecca and al-Ta'if as well, and Abd al-Wahid was dismissed from office after a term of less than two years.[6]
