Isa ibn Mansur al-Rafiqi,[1] (Arabic: عيسى بن منصور الرافقي; died 847) alternatively known as al-Rafi'i,[2] was a governor of Egypt for the Abbasid Caliphate, holding that position from 831 to 832 and again from 843 to 847.
[4] Following Abdawayh's dismissal in the following year, Isa was appointed as resident governor in his stead by Abu Ishaq (the future caliph al-Mu'tasim, r. 833–842), who held overall authority over the administration of Egypt and Syria, and he began his governorship around the beginning of 831.
After waiting for the seasonal flooding of the Nile to subside, al-Afshin and Isa set out, engaged the forces of the rebel leader Ibn Ubaydas al-Fihri and defeated them.
Al-Afshin then proceeded to fight his way through the Nile Delta, eventually entering Alexandria in January 832, while Isa for his part returned to Fustat, then marched out again and scored a victory against the rebels at Tumayy.
There he upbraided Isa, holding him responsible for the outbreak of the rebellion, and accusing him of allowing the tax collectors to behave tyrannically against the people and of concealing the true state of affairs in the province.
