عبد الله بن عبد الله بن الأهثم أبو حاقان

Abdallah ibn al-Ahtham, Abu Haqan — Qutayba's Marw deputy whose denunciation al-Hajjaj returned; forewarned he fled to Syria peddling wine, flax, then oil as one-eyed 'Abu Tutayna' — until al-Walid's death, when his unmasking sermon for Sulayman made him 'the most eloquent of men'.
