Overview
Abu al-Hayja Abd Allah ibn Hamdan, one of the figures whom Ibn al-Athir mentions in the history of the Abbasid caliphate. The book says that Mu'nis al-Muzaffar lodged with him in his camp with men of the Jibal when he grew estranged from al-Muqtadir in 317 AH, and that he was with him in deposing al-Muqtadir. 1
Iqta' and Mosul
Al-Qahir granted him districts on the road to Khurasan, added to what he already held, among them Hulwan, Dinawar, Hamadhan, Nihawand, al-Saymara and Masabadhan. He then went out to Mosul and seized it. 1
