Javidan Ibn Sahrak

Javidan ibn Sahrak, teacher of Babak, and one of the men of the Khurramiyya in the Bad mountains. ²

He set out with two thousand sheep to Zanjan and sold them, but the snow overtook him, so he returned to the village of Bilal Abadh. Its lord lodged him with Babak's mother, and he found Babak to be spirited, so he asked his mother for him at fifty dirhams a month. ²

Then Abu Imran rose against him, fought him, defeated and killed him. He returned to his mountain and died three days later. ²
