Ziyad ibn Abi Sufyan



Ziyad ibn Abi Sufyan (Arabic: زياد بن أبي سفيان) was a Muslim general and administrator and a member of the clan of the Umayyads. His parentage is obscure and controversial, which in the inimical Abbasid historiography has earned him the Patronymic "Ibn Abihi (son of his own [unknown] father)".
