Abbas ibn al-Husayn al-Hibati

Abbas ibn al-Husayn al-Hibati; he warned Humran ibn Aban of al-Hajjaj's threat — 'if he claims Arab descent and won't own his father and his fiefdom to Uthman, I'll strike his neck' — so Humran gifted him the west bank that became Abbadan, whose first garrisoner he was. Before that he held Ibn Samura's shurta at Kabul — a whole night spearing the foe till dawn; al-Hasan: I never thought one man could stand for a thousand until I saw Abbad ibn al-Husayn.
