Overview
The Hawashim state in Mecca, from the Banu al-Hasan. Muhammad ibn Ja'far and his brothers became autocratic in its emirate after the Sulaymanids, according to Ibn Khaldun. 1
Strife in their days
Strife turned in Mecca between the Abbasid and the Fatimid khutba. al-Muqtadi sent to Mecca seventy pulpits, embroidered with gold. Khalda' the Turk was sent, the first Turk to command the pilgrims. 1
Strife broke out between the Shi'a and the People of the Sunna, and the pulpit was broken and burned. 1
The end
When the state of the Fatimids died out and the affair of the Hawashim weakened, Abu Aziz ibn Qatada was their counterpart, and he died in 589 AH. The Banu Qatada then inherited their affair, took Mecca from their hands through the women's line, and the Hawashim state came to an end. 1
A second source is needed: the dates of founding and end are not recorded in the data.
