The Tahirid Emirs
AD 821 - 873
The Tahirids were the faithful Abbasid governors of
Khurasan. The region was granted to them by Caliph al-Mamun. At around the same time, they themselves
lost Transoxiana to the Samanids.
Tahirids were also the governors of Baghdad and Iraq (western Persia) under their Abbasid overlords.
For many years, Muhammad continued as the nominal governor of Khurasan while living in Iraq. His
brother al Husayn briefly returned in 876. |
