Uprising of Fakhkh: Difference between revisions

The sons of [['Abd Allah al-Mahd]] were active in this event. Sulayman b. 'Abd Allah and al-Hasan b. Muhammad b. 'Abd Allah al-Mahd were killed, but Idris b. 'Abd Allah escaped to [[Morocco]] (Maghrib) and later established the Idrissid government there. Also another brother of his, Yahya b. 'Abd Allah, escaped to [[Daylam]]. He received a letter of security from [[Harun al-Rashid]], but was then deceived into going to Baghdad and was killed there.

After the Fakhkh uprising, the ruler of [[Medina]] set the houses and palm groves of [[Shahid al-fakhkh|al-Husayn b. 'Ali]] and some of his household on fire, and confiscated the rest of their palm groves and property. Musa b. 'Isa al-'Abbasi went to Medina and called people of the city to the mosque and had them publically curse al-Husayn and his companions. There are contradictory reports about al-Hadi al-'Abbasi's reactions. On some accounts, he coldheartedly treated the captives of the event as well as the Abbasid rulers who failed to do their duties in the battle. For example, he captivated [[Qasim b. Muhammad b. 'Abd Allah al-'Alawi]], and mutilated his body with a saw, and he was angered at his own commander, Musa b. 'Isa al-'Abbasi, who had killed Hasan b. Muhammad b. 'Abd Allah, instead of capturing him and letting the [[Caliph]] decide about him; because of this he confiscated Musa's property.
