Overview

Shayban al-Harudi, leader of the force of the Harurite Kharijites in Khurasan during the Abbasid revolution 2.

Abu Muslim

Taqqush reports that Abu Muslim cooperated with him to overthrow the Umayyads, alongside Juday' al-Kirmani and his son Ali. Then Abu Muslim disposed of him in the elimination of the leaders of the rival forces, and that ended with his being alone in ruling Khurasan 2.
