Akhu Muslim

Abū Muḥammad ʿAbd Allāh ibn ʿUbayd Allāh al-Ḥusaynī (fl. 965–974), better known as Akhu Muslim ("brother of Muslim"), was a Husaynid sharif and governor of Palestine for the Ikhshidids. He opposed the takeover of the province by al-Hasan ibn Ubayd Allah ibn Tughj and joined the Qarmatians, fighting with them against the Fatimids until 974. After the defeat of the second Qarmatian invasion of Egypt in that year, Akhu Muslim fled to Arabia, pursued by Fatimid agents. He was betrayed in the end by his Qarmatian allies, who poisoned him near Basra.
