Yazid ibn Ziyad

Yazīd ibn Ziyād ibn Abīhi (Arabic: يزيد بن زياد بن أبيه) (died 683/84) was a general of the Umayyad Caliphate responsible for the province of Sijistan during the reign of Caliph Yazid I between 680/81 and his death. He was appointed by one of his brothers Ubayd Allah or Salm in 680 or 681 in their capacity as governors of Basra or Khurasan, respectively.[1] While Yazid was posted as amir (overall commander, probably with fiscal and civil responsibilities) of Sijistan, his brother Abu Ubayda was made field commander.[1] In 683/84,[2] the two brothers led an expedition against the Zunbil of Zabulistan and the Turk Shahis of Kabul.[1] However, their forces were routed and Yazid was slain, while Abu Ubayda was captured.[1][3]
