Overview
Masmala ibn Hubayra ibn Shibl, of the Banu Tha'laba ibn Shayban ibn Tha'laba ibn Akaba. 1
Governing Tabaristan
Mu'awiya appointed him over Tabaristan and added ten thousand men to him. The enemy enticed him until he went deep in, then they took the passes from him and rolled down rocks. He and his army perished. 1 In this, see the disaster of Masmala in Tabaristan.
His account became a proverb: "until Masmala returns from Tabaristan." 1
