Umayya ibn Abdallah ibn Khalid ibn Asid

According to historian Hugh N. Kennedy, Umayya was known to be "easygoing, generous, peace-loving and, his enemies alleged, pompous and effeminate".

[4] Khurasan remained a distinct governorship and included Sijistan (Sistan),[5] to which Umayya appointed his son Abd Allah as lieutenant governor.

[5] However, Bukayr was resentful of his dismissal and he and his partisans secretly opposed Umayya, while their rivals within Tamim led by Bahir ibn Warqa cooperated with him.

[8] Instead, Umayya personally led the expedition and ordered Bukayr to remain in Merv to assist his son Ziyad, who he had left in charge.

[12] In that same year, Abd al-Malik dismissed Umayya and added Khurasan and Sijistan to the governorship of Iraq under al-Hajjaj ibn Yusuf.
