الأغلب بن سالم التميمي

In al-Baladhuri: of Marw al-Rudh's people among the Masawwida from Khurasan; Musa al-Hadi gave him the Maghreb, Harish of the Tunis frontier army besieged him at Qayrawan, he sallied and fought, an arrow struck him in battle and he fell dead, his companions unaware — so he was called al-Aghlab al-Shahid.
