Isma'il ibn Salih ibn Ali al-Hashimi

Ismāʿīl ibn Ṣāliḥ ibn ʿAlī al-Hāshimī (Arabic: إسماعيل بن صالح بن علي الهاشمي) was an eighth century Abbasid governor of Egypt and Aleppo.

A member of the Abbasid family, he was a son of Salih ibn Ali[1] and a first cousin of the first two Abbasid caliphs al-Saffah (r. 750–754) and al-Mansur (r. 754–775).

During the reign of Harun al-Rashid (r. 786–809) he was appointed as governor of Egypt in 797.

After an administration lasting slightly less than a year, he was dismissed from that province[2] and instead posted to Aleppo and Qinnasrin, which he proceeded to hold for an unspecified length of time.
