Biography
Fadl was a son of
Though Fadl appeared to oppose Muhanna's defection, the 14th-century Arab historian,
Muhanna was stripped of the post and exiled with his branch of the family in 1320, after which he was replaced by Muhammad ibn Abu Bakr, a distant relative.[4] In 1322, Fadl was appointed to the post for the second time.[4] During a visit to Salamiyah in 1324, it was apparent that Muhanna still held sway with the Bedouin in Syria while Fadl was the nominal emir who received a government salary.[4] In 1328, Fadl gave Muhanna's son Sulayman substantial sums after the latter defected from the Ilkhanids and agreed to submit to Mamluk authority in al-Rahba.[4] Fadl continued to rule the Bedouin, at least in name, until 1330 when Muhanna was restored.[4] Muhanna died in 1334 and Fadl likely died in the few years before or after Muhanna's death.[4] The office of amir al-ʿarab remained hereditary within the Al Fadl clan, but was primarily held by direct descendants of Muhanna.[5] On some occasions, Fadl's direct descendants held the office,[6] such as his sons Isa (r. 1342–1343) and Sayf (r. 1343–1345, 1347–1348).[7]
