Mulabbid ibn Harmala al-Shaybani, leader of the Kharijites in al-Jazira. He rose in the caliphate of al-Mansur in 137 AH, and was killed in 138 AH. 1
His rising

Al-Mansur at last sent Khazim ibn Khuzayma against him with about eight hundred thousand men of Marw al-Rudh, according to the source. They fought at length, and then Khazim ordered his companions to shoot them with arrows. They shot Mulabbid, and many were killed with him in 138 AH. 1
