Utba ibn Abi Sufyan

[1] Under Caliph Umar ibn al-Khattab (r. 634–644), he was charged with collecting the sadaqat (tribute) from the Kinana tribe based around Mecca.

[6] Mu'awiya became caliph in 661 and appointed Utba to lead the annual Hajj pilgrimage to Mecca in March 662.

[8] The Dar al-Imara was intended to serve as the residence of the Arab governor of the province, who was based in Fustat.

[8] Utba died in office in 665,[11] and was succeeded by the muleteer of Muhammad, Uqba ibn Amir.

A descendant of Utba, Abd Allah ibn Muhammad al-Utbi was recorded as a source of information in the history of al-Tabari.
