Al-Ḥusayn ibn ʿAlī al-ʿĀbid (Шаблон:Lang-ar) was an Alid who rebelled at Medina against the Abbasid caliph al-Hadi. He was killed with many of his followers at the Battle of Fakhkh outside Mecca on 11 June 786, whence he is known to history as the Man of Fakhkh (Шаблон:Lang-ar).Шаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn

Family and early life

Husayn's father was Шаблон:Ill, a great-grandson of al-Hasan ibn Ali, and his mother was Zaynab, the daughter of Abdallah ibn al-Hasan al-Muthanna, a grandson of al-Hasan ibn Ali. Both of his parents were renowned for their piety, to the point that his father volunteered to join his Alid relatives who were imprisoned by the Abbasid caliph al-Mansur in 758 and 762, dying in prison in 763.Шаблон:Sfn Muhammad al-Nafs al-Zakiyya, who led a major Alid revolt in Medina against the Abbasids in 762, was a brother of Husayn's mother.Шаблон:Sfn

Husayn thus grew up in what the historian Laura Veccia Vaglieri describes as "an atmosphere of extreme piety and of secret hatred for the Abbasids".Шаблон:Sfn Nevertheless, Husayn had friendly relations with the third Abbasid caliph, al-Mahdi (Шаблон:Reign), who gave him money and released an Alid prisoner at Husayn's intercession.Шаблон:Sfn According to Veccia Vaglieri, "[t]here exist many anecdotes about his love for the poor, his charity, his inability to understand the value of money and his boundless generosity".Шаблон:Sfn

Revolt

Шаблон:Main Shortly after Caliph al-Mahdi died in July 785, Husayn and his followers rose in revolt at Medina, hoping to take advantage of the as yet unstable position of al-Mahdi's successor, al-Hadi.Шаблон:Sfn Probably on 16 May 786, Husayn and his fellow conspirators tried to seize control of Medina. At the Mosque of the Prophet, Husayn took the pulpit, symbolically dressed in white and wearing a white turban, and received the allegiance of is followers, with the regnal name of Шаблон:Transl, 'the One pleasing to God from the house of Muhammad'.Шаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn

The rebels failed to rally the ordinary people to their cause, however, and were quickly confronted by the local garrison.Шаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn Over the following days, the partisans of the Alids (Шаблон:Transl, the 'wearers of white') and the Abbasids (Шаблон:Transl, the 'wearers of black') clashed repeatedly, but the latter emerged victorious, confining the Alids and their partisans to the precinct of the Great Mosque. With his uprising clearly a failure, Husayn left the city for Mecca on 28 May, with some 300 followers.Шаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn

On 11 June 786, at the wadi of Шаблон:Ill, some Шаблон:Convert northwest of Mecca,Шаблон:Sfn Husayn's small force encountered the Abbasid army, under the command of a number of Abbasid princes who had been present in the city with their armed retinues for the Hajj.Шаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn In the ensuing battle, Husayn and over a hundred of his followers were killed, and many taken prisoner.Шаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn Many Alids managed to escape the battle by mingling with the Hajj pilgrims.Шаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn Among them were Idris and Yahya, the brothers of Muhammad al-Nafs al-Zakiyya.Шаблон:Sfn Idris eventually moved to the Maghreb, and in 789 established the Idrisid dynasty in the area of modern Morocco, while his brother Yahya raised a revolt in Daylam in 792.Шаблон:Sfn
