Muslim ibn Quraysh

Abu'l-Makarim Muslim ibn Qirwash (Arabic: أبو المكارم مسلم بن قرواش) also known by the honorific title Sharaf al-Dawla (شرف الدولة), was the Uqaylid emir of Mosul and Aleppo.

As Muslim was a Shiite, he initially recognised the Caliph of Cairo but due to the growing power of the Seljuks accepted an alliance with Alp Arslan around the year 1066.

[1] In 1077, he joined as Malik-Shah's vassal the sultan's brother emir Tutush I campaign to capture Aleppo during the reign of Sabiq ibn Mahmud of the Mirdasids.

[3][4] However, Muslim was personally fond of Sabiq, opposed a Seljuk takeover of Aleppo, and admonished the Kilabi chiefs for inviting Turkoman foreigners against their kinsman.

In 1080, Tutush influenced Sabiq to cede the emirate to Muslim ibn Qirwash,[7] in which its inhabitants had hopes that he could protect them from Seljuk raids.
