خروج محمد بن البعيث
Marand was a small village settled by Halbas Abu al-Ba'ith, fortified by al-Ba'ith then his son Muhammad ibn al-Ba'ith who built palaces there; Muhammad broke away in al-Mutawakkil's caliphate, and Buna al-Saghir the caliph's mawla fought him till he took him, carried him to Samarra, and razed Marand's wall and that palace — the Ba'ithids descending from Utayb ibn Amr of Asad ibn Rabi'a, or Utayb ibn Awf ibn Sinan as the Utaybis tell it.

Overview
Marand was a small village where Halbas, father of al-Ba'ith, settled. Al-Ba'ith and his son Muhammad ibn al-Buayth fortified it and built palaces there. In the caliphate of al-Mutawakkil Muhammad rebelled, and Buna al-Saghir, client of the commander of the faithful, fought him until he defeated him. 1
