Ibn Hubayra 1 was Yazid ibn Umar ibn Hubayra, and was one of the Umayyad generals defeated in the revolt; his father was Omar 3: see Encyclopaedia of Islam III, p. 802. An Arab general, defeated by Abu Muslim 1 and Qahtaba 1 in their revolt against the Umayyads: Theoph. AM 6240 (τὸν Ἰβινουβεηρᾶ στρατοπεδεύοντα), cf. Chron. 1234, §177 (p. 324) (his defeat by the rebels from the East; cf. below). Yazid ibn Hubayra (Ibn Hubayra 1) was one of the commanders serving under Marwan 2: Chron. 1234, §174 (p. 321). In the revolt against Marwan 2 he held command in the East: Chron. 1234, §176 (p. 324). After his defeat (see above) he retreated for safety to Wasit, where he was besieged for a long time by the troops of as-Saffah 1; eventually he was persuaded to surrender on a promise of safety but was then treacherously murdered: Chron. 1234, §§177 (pp. 324-325), 181 (p. 332).
