THE ORIGINS OF THE ISLAMIC STATE
The insurrection of Khaulân. Khaulân in al-Yaman having apostatized, ʿUmar sent against them Yaʿla ibn-Munyah (Munyah, his mother, was of the banu-Mâzin ibn-Manṣûr ibnʿIkrimah ibn-Khaṣafah ibn-Ḳais ibn-ʿAilân ibn-Muḍar, and his father was Umaiyah ibn-abi-ʿUbaidah, one of the sons of Mâlik ibn-Ḥanẓalah ibn-Mâlik, an ally of the banu-Naufal ibn-ʿAbd-Manâf) who won a great victory over them and carried away booty and captives. According to others, however, he met no resistance, and all of them returned to Islâm.
