Overview
Al-Aghlab ibn Salim from the people of Marw al-Rudh, who came from Khurasan with the Abbasid black-clad supporters, according to al-Baladhuri. Al-Hadi appointed him over the Maghrib. 1
His killing
Hurayth, from the frontier army of Tunis, besieged him in Kairouan. He went out to fight him. An arrow struck him in the battle and he fell dead while his companions did not know of his wound, so he was called "al-Aghlab the martyr". 1
His death was in the governorship of al-Hadi, around 786 CE; the Gregorian date is derived. For details, see the killing of al-Aghlab.
