Sadakiyans or Sadakiya, Sadaqiya (صدقیه, ca. 770–827/8 A.D.) were a
Lajan
and Sindus in modern-day northwestern Iran.
During the reign of Abbasid Harun al Rashid, Sadakiyans were able to further extend their dominion, and the governor of Tabriz
accepted their suzerainty.
The successful expeditions by Sadakiyans horrified the Abbasids, who subsequently sent a large army under command of a general known as Khazima. He could only occupy Maragha
and soon was defeated by Sadakiyan forces.
After Sadaka, his son Ali took power. Ali extended further their dominion.
Ali's son Sadaka II, better known as Zariq (Zardiq, Zuraiq, Zarir), ruled between 209 and 212 A.H. (824–827/8 A.D.) Like his grandfather (Sadaqa), Zariq was a capable warlord. He contacted the
Abbasids
.
In 211 A.H. Zariq sent an army to
Abbasid
governor.
