Arabia during al-Faddayni's lifetime

Sa'id ibn Khalid ibn Muhammad ibn Abd Allah ibn Amr ibn Uthman ibn Affan al-Uthmani (Шаблон:Lang-ar, Шаблон:Floruit), commonly known as al-Faddayni (Шаблон:Lang), was a member of the Umayyad family who led a failed revolt against the Abbasid Caliphate in the Hauran and Balqa (Transjordan) in 813, during the Fourth Muslim Civil War, in a bid to claim the caliphate. His revolt followed two other abortive revolts by Umayyad claimants to the caliphate in Damascus, those of Abu al-Umaytir al-Sufyani and Maslama ibn Ya'qub. In effect, al-Faddayni's rebellion was the last major attempt to resurrect the Umayyad Caliphate in Syria.

Sa'id ibn Khalid ibn Muhammad ibn Abd Allah ibn Amr ibn Uthman was a descendant of Caliph Uthman (Шаблон:Reign).Шаблон:Sfn His epithet 'al-Faddayni' derived from his establishment in al-Faddayn, an Umayyad aristocratic residence located within the modern town of al-MafraqШаблон:Sfn in the Hauran.Шаблон:Sfn An earlier member of his family, the eponymous Sa'id ibn Khalid ibn Amr ibn Uthman, owned the al-Faddayn estate during the reigns of the Umayyad caliphs Hisham (Шаблон:Reign) and al-Walid II (Шаблон:Reign), and the estate remained in the family's possession until al-Faddayni's time.Шаблон:Sfn Although as descendants of Uthman they belonged to the Umayyad family, the line of Uthman was separate from the family's two ruling branches, the Sufyanids who ruled in 661–684 and the Marwanids who ruled in 684–750.Шаблон:Sfn

Revolt

During the Fourth Muslim Civil War, Abbasid authority collapsed across Syria. In Damascus, an Umayyad notable descended from the Sufyanid line of Umayyad caliphs, Abu al-Umaytir al-Sufyani, took power in 811 with the key backing of the Banu Kalb/Yaman tribes, and his rule was recognized elsewhere in Syria, including in Hims and Sidon.Шаблон:Sfn

Abu al-Umaytir was deposed in 813 by the Qays, tribal rivals of the Yaman, led by Ibn Bayhas al-Kilabi using an Umayyad descended from the Marwanid line, Maslama ibn Ya'qub, as his proxy. Maslama claimed the caliphate himself and was soon after ousted. Both Maslama and Abu al-Umaytir escaped to the Ghouta where they held out for some time against Ibn Bayhas until their natural deaths. By 813, the Abbasid dynast al-Ma'mun overthrew his brother, Caliph al-Amin, and took control of the Abbasid caliphate in Baghdad.Шаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn

Around the same time the Umayyad revolt in Damascus dissipated, probably still in 813, al-Faddayni proclaimed himself caliph. He allied with the Yaman and first moved against the Qays in his general vicinity, pursuing and killing members of the faction from the Banu Sa'd tribe. Ibn Bayhas dispatched his brother Yahya ibn Salih against al-Faddayni. Yahya besieged and chased him out of al-Faddayn, which was subsequently destroyed. Yahya next destroyed the fortress of Ziza in the Balqa near Amman.Шаблон:Sfn

Al-Faddayni then set up headquarters at Masuh, also near Amman, while a fellow Umayyad, Yahya ibn al-Hakam, controlled Amman proper. They were reinforced by Yamani tribesmen, including the Bali, as well as parts of the Qaysi Banu Fazara and groups from the Jordan Valley. Umayyad relatives and remnants of Abu al-Umaytir's supporters from Damascus also joined.Шаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn In all, his forces swelled to some 20,000 men.Шаблон:Sfn Yahya ibn Salih moved against the Umayyads, defeated them, and put al-Faddayni to flight once more. He barricaded himself at Hisban, whereafter his tribal support disbanded and nothing more is heard of him.Шаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn

According to the historian Wilferd Madelung, the abortive revolt of al-Faddayni was the last major attempt to reestablish the Umayyad Caliphate in Syria.Шаблон:Sfn The historian Paul M. Cobb notes that one more rebellion occurred in 906 by a notable claiming Sufyanid descent, but it was suppressed soon after.Шаблон:Sfn
