Habib ibn al-Muhallab al-Azdi ((アラビア語:حبيب بن المهلب الأزدي)) (died 720) was a provincial governor and military commander for the Umayyad dynasty, and a member of the Muhallabid family. He later participated in the revolt of his brother Yazid ibn al-Muhallab and was killed in the Battle of al-'Aqr. == Career == Habib was a son of the general al-Muhallab ibn Abi Sufrah, under whom he served during his early career. In 686〔Al-Tabari, v. 20: p. 174〕 and again in 695〔Al-Tabari, v. 22: p. 28〕 he is recorded as having participated in his father's campaigns to eradicate the Azraqite rebels in the districts of al-Basrah, al-Ahwaz and Fars. After operations against the Azraqites were concluded in 697, Habib moved to Khurasan, where al-Muhallab had been appointed as governor by al-Hajjaj ibn Yusuf.〔Al-Tabari, v. 22: pp. 179-80〕 Three years later he took part in al-Muhallab's expedition against Kish. During this campaign, he was selected to lead a raid against Rabinjan, but he decided to withdraw after the lord of Bukhara advanced against him.〔Al-Tabari, v. 22: pp. 188-89〕 When al-Muhallab died in 702, Habib was present to receive his father's testament; afterwards he took command of the army and brought it to his younger brother Yazid, who was recognized by al-Hajjaj as the new governor of Khurasan.〔Al-Tabari, v. 23: pp. 31-32〕 Habib spent the next few years assisting Yazid and,〔Al-Tabari, v. 23: pp. 63-64〕 after the latter's dismissal in 704, his successor al-Mufaddal. During this period he was appointed as deputy governor of Kirman, a position which he retained until al-Hajjaj dismissed all of the Muhallabids from their positions.〔Al-Tabari, v. 23: p. 129〕 Following this, he was detained in al-Basrah on the orders of al-Hajjaj and tortured, but was spared from any further punishment when the caliph al-Walid ibn 'Abd al-Malik ordered that the Muhallabids be granted safe-conduct.〔Al-Tabari, v. 23: pp. 157, 162〕 As a result of the death of al-Walid and the accession of Sulayman ibn 'Abd al-Malik in 715, the Muhallabids were returned to power, and Yazid was appointed by the caliph to al-Hajjaj's old position as governor of Iraq.〔Al-Tabari, v. 24: p. 32〕 At the same time, Habib was appointed to the province of al-Sind,〔Khalifah ibn Khayyat, p. 318; al-Ya'qubi, p. 356; Crone, p. 141〕 which had recently been conquered by Muhammad ibn Qasim, and was ordered to continue the military campaign there. Upon arriving in the province, Habib set up camp on the bank of the Indus and received the submission of the people of al-Rur. During his governorship, he fought and defeated an unnamed tribe, but no major territorial gains were recorded.〔Al-Baladhuri, p. 225; Mazhar-ul-Haq, p. 453〕 Habib remained in al-Sind for the duration of Sulayman's caliphate. After Sulayman's death in 717, however, the Muhallabids again suffered a reversal of fortune; the new caliph 'Umar ibn 'Abd al-'Aziz decided to dismiss Yazid from Iraq and threw him into prison.〔Al-Tabari, v. 24: pp. 75, 79-81〕 Habib's governorship also came to an end;〔Khalifah ibn Khayyat, p. 322〕 he departed from al-Sind and eventually returned to al-Basrah.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Habib ibn al-Muhallab」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
