Overview
Umayya ibn Abd Allah ibn Khalid ibn Usayd ibn Abi al-As, whom Abd al-Malik ibn Marwan appointed over Khurasan 1.
Governorship of Khurasan
Umayya sent his son Abd Allah ibn Umayya to Sistan and appointed him over it while he himself was in Kirman. Then Abd al-Malik appointed him over Khurasan after the killing of Ibn Khazim, when its notables wrote to the caliph that it could only be managed by a man of Quraysh 1.
His dispute with Bukayr
Umayya appointed Bukayr ibn Wishah over Tukharistan, and he rebelled against him and imprisoned his son. Umayya fought him, then made peace with him, then ordered him imprisoned, and Bujayr ibn Warqa' killed him. Umayya conquered al-Khutul after it had broken its covenant 1.
