al-Faddayni

[1] His epithet 'al-Faddayni' derived from his establishment in al-Faddayn, an Umayyad aristocratic residence located within the modern town of al-Mafraq[2] in the Hauran.

He allied with the Yaman and first moved against the Qays in his general vicinity, pursuing and killing members of the faction from the Banu Sa'd tribe.

They were reinforced by Yamani tribesmen, including the Bali, as well as parts of the Qaysi Banu Fazara and groups from the Jordan Valley.

[3][8] According to the historian Wilferd Madelung, the abortive revolt of al-Faddayni was the last major attempt to reestablish the Umayyad Caliphate in Syria.

[8] The historian Paul M. Cobb notes that one more rebellion occurred in 906 by a notable claiming Sufyanid descent, but it was suppressed soon after.
