إبراهيم بن الأغلب

إبراهيم بن الأغلب

In al-Baladhuri: of Egypt's army notables; he rose with twelve men who took only their rations' measure from the treasury and fled to al-Zab, claimed that district's leadership, courted Harthama ibn A'yan who gave it to him, then counselled al-Rashid to reconcile him — al-Rashid pardoned him and gave him the Maghreb as a benefaction, so he stood over it and held it firm: the founder of Aghlabid rule in Ifriqiya.
