Шаблон:Short description Ishaq ibn Yahya ibn Mu'adh (Шаблон:Lang-ar; died 851) was a ninth-century provincial governor for the Abbasid Caliphate, serving as governor of Damascus and Egypt.
Early career
Ishaq was the scion of a prominent family from Khurasan; his father Yahya ibn Mu'adh ibn Muslim was a senior official who had been governor of Damascus, Armenia and al-Jazira.Шаблон:Sfn Ishaq himself was appointed as resident governor of the district of Damascus during the reign of al-Ma'mun (r. 813–833) by the caliph's brother and successor Abu Ishaq al-Mu'tasim (r. 833–842), and remained there through the death of al-Ma'mun in 833.[1] During this period Ishaq was ordered by al-Mu'tasim to carry out the mihnah or inquisition regarding the createdness of the Qur'an, but he dealt leniently with the Damascenes on the matter.Шаблон:Sfn
Following the foundation of Samarra in 836, Ishaq received a land allotment along the Grand Avenue in the central city.Шаблон:Sfn In 840, al-Mu'tasim appointed him as commander of his guard (haras), and he retained that position for a period after al-Wathiq (r. 842–847) became caliph.[2] In 843-4, al-Wathiq handed over Ahmad ibn Isra'il al-Anbari to Ishaq during a crackdown against the caliphal secretaries, and ordered him to flog Ahmad with ten lashes daily.Шаблон:Sfn During al-Wathiq's reign, Ishaq also served as governor of Damascus.[3]

Governorship of Egypt
In 850, Ishaq was appointed as resident governor of Egypt by al-Muntasir, who had been assigned the province as part of al-Mutawakkil's succession arrangements. Ishaq's appointment gave him control of security and the prayers, together with the land tax (kharaj).[4]
During his term in Egypt, Ishaq received an order from al-Mutawakkil and al-Muntasir, commanding him to deport all of the 'Alids then in Egypt. He accordingly provided a traveling allowance of 30 dinars for each 'Alid male and 15 dinars for each female, after which they set out from al-Fustat in January 851. Following their arrival in Iraq, they were exiled to Medina.[5]
In May/June 851, Ishaq was dismissed from the governorship and replaced with Khut Abd al-Wahid ibn Yahya. He died in Egypt shortly after his dismissal, in September/October 851, and was buried in the City of the Dead.[6]
