Nasr ibn Habib al-Muhallabi

Nasr ibn Habib al-Muhallabi (Arabic: نصر بن حبيب المهلبي) was a member of the Muhallabid family who served as the governor of Ifriqiya for the Abbasid Caliphate, from 791 to 793.

Nasr is mentioned as having served under Yazid ibn Hatim al-Muhallabi while the latter was governor of Egypt (762–769); he was sent to put down a revolt at Sakha in 767 and was wounded during the fighting.

Upon Rawh's death in early 791, his son Qabisah was initially proclaimed as his successor, but Nasr was recognized as governor after the postmaster delivered Harun's appointment letter to him.

His administration was brought to an end, however, after Rawh's son al-Fadl travelled to Harun's court and convinced the caliph to appoint him over Ifriqiya instead.

[2][3][4][5][6] Following his dismissal, Nasr appears to have remained in Ifriqiya until the death of al-Fadl, whereupon he and other Muhallabids were expelled from the province by 'Abdallah ibn al-Jarud.
