Ishaq ibn al-Abbas ibn Muhammad al-Hashimi (
Arabic: إسحاق بن العباس بن محمد الهاشمي) was a ninth century Abbasid personage, provincial governor and military commander. He was twice appointed as governor of the Yemen
, in 824 and 830.
Career
Ishaq was a minor member of the Abbasid dynasty, being a nephew of the caliphs
al-Saffah (r. 750–754) and al-Mansur (r. 754–775). He is mentioned as being in Iraq in 817, when he played a small role in supporting the anti-caliph Ibrahim ibn al-Mahdi.[1]
In 824 Ishaq was appointed governor of the Yemen for the caliph
Muhammad ibn Nafi' was appointed as governor in his place.[2]
In 830, Ishaq was selected to lead the
Abu al-Razi Muhammad ibn 'Abd al-Hamid. Ishaq accordingly made his way to the province and established himself in Sana'a, but took no action against Abu al-Razi's killer, the rebel Ibrahim ibn Abi Ja'far al-Manakhi, who was allowed to maintain his position in the southern highlands. Ishaq's second governorship continued until he either died or was dismissed, and he was succeeded by Abdallah ibn Ubaydallah ibn al-Abbas.[4]
