Marzuq Abu al-Khasib
مرزوق أبو الخصيب
Marzuq Abu al-Khasib, Khazim ibn Khuzayma's mawla and namesake of Kufa's Qasr al-Khasib; for al-Mansur he contrived Tabaristan's fall — beaten and shaven by his masters, he played the abused deserter to the Ispahbadh, mapped the Arabs' weaknesses and opened the gate.
