Family tree of the Hamdanid dynasty

Al-Husayn was a younger son of the founder of the Hamdanid emirate of Mosul, Nasir al-Dawla (Шаблон:Reign).Шаблон:Sfn Nasir al-Dawla was succeeded by his son Abu Taghlib, who had to confront uprisings by his half-brother Hamdan, and conflicts with the Byzantine Empire and the Buyid emir of Iraq, Adud al-Dawla, who finally captured Mosul in 978 and forced Abu Taghlib to flee to Syria.Шаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn Al-Husayn, however, along with his brother Ibrahim, apparently submitted to the Buyids and entered their service,Шаблон:Sfn or were possibly kept as hostages in Baghdad.Шаблон:Sfn

During the 980s, Mosul was threatened by the Kurdish chieftain Badh ibn Dustak.Шаблон:Sfn Left without support from Baghdad, the local Buyid governor turned to the local Arab tribes of the Banu Uqayl and the Banu Numayr for assistance.Шаблон:Sfn This threatened Buyid control of the area as much as the Kurds, and in 989, the new Buyid emir, Baha al-Dawla, allowed the Hamdanid brothers to return to Mosul, in the hope that their local ties would mobilize opposition against Badh, and keep the Arab tribes reined in.Шаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn

The Hamdanids were indeed received with enthusiasm by the local population, to such a degree that they rose in revolt and expelled the Buyid governor from Mosul.Шаблон:Sfn The Uqayl backed the Hamdanids, and received control of the towns of Jazirat ibn Umar, Nisibis, and Balad (north of Mosul), in exchange.Шаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn Exploiting the turmoil, Badh attacked Mosul in the next year, but was defeated and killed by the numerically inferior Uqayl forces under al-Husayn in battle near Balad.Шаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn A Hamdanid counter-offensive followed in the region of Amida against Badh's successor, Abu Ali al-Hasan ibn Marwan, but failed to score any success. Indeed, al-Husayn was taken prisoner during the campaign.Шаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn His brother Ibrahim fled to Uqaylid-held Nisibis, where Muhammad took him and his son Ali prisoner and killed them. The Uqaylid dynasty thus usurped the Hamdanids as emirs of Mosul.Шаблон:SfnШаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn

Al-Husayn was released shortly after, through the intercession of the Fatimid caliph, al-Aziz, and found refuge in the Fatimid domains in Syria.Шаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn Al-Aziz intended to make use of him in his designs against the Emirate of Aleppo, ruled by the Syrian branch of the Hamdanid dynasty: al-Husayn was intended as governor of the city, should the Fatimids manage to conquer it.Шаблон:Sfn Throughout the early 990s, the Fatimids tried to conquer the city but failed, in large part due to Byzantine intervention.Шаблон:Sfn In 996, shortly before al-Aziz's death, al-Husayn was appointed governor of Tyre, and tasked with suppressing the city's revolt.Шаблон:Sfn

His grandson, Nasir al-Dawla ibn Hamdan, served the Fatimids as governor of Syria, before becoming involved in the civil war that nearly shattered the Fatimid state in the late 1060s. He seized Cairo and even attempted to depose the Fatimids and restore the country to Abbasid allegiance, but was murdered along with his brother in 1072/3.Шаблон:Sfn
