Abd al-Wahhab ibn Ibrahim al-Imam
عبد الوهاب بن إبراهيم الإمام
Abd al-Wahhab ibn Ibrahim al-Imam, son of the da'wa's imam Ibrahim ibn Muhammad ibn Ali; in al-Baladhuri: al-Mansur sent him in year 140 as governor of the Jazira and its frontier with al-Hasan ibn Qahtaba among the Khurasani armies, proclaiming a levy on Syria and the Jazira until seventy thousand converged, and he camped on Malatya building it with labourers gathered from every land — when al-Hasan ibn Qahtaba's feeding of the people from his own purse nettled him he wrote to Abu Ja'far accusing him, and the answer came: 'O boy! al-Hasan feeds from his own money, and you feed from mine — nothing comes of you but smallness of worth, littleness of ambition and foolishness of opinion.'
