Maslama ibn Abd al-Malik[b] (fl. 705 – 24 December 738) was anUmayyad prince and one of the most prominentArab generals of the early decades of the 8th century, leading several campaigns against theByzantine Empire and theKhazar Khaganate. He achieved great fame especially for leading thelast Arab siege of the Byzantine capitalConstantinople.
He launched his military career leading the annual summer raids against the Byzantines inAnatolia. By 709, he was governor overQinnasrin (northernSyria), theJazira (Upper Mesopotamia),Armenia, andAdharbayjan, giving him control over the Caliphate's northern frontier. From this position, he launched the first Arab expeditions against the Khazars across theCaucasus. Maslama's brother, CaliphSulayman, appointed him to lead the campaign to capture Constantinople in 715, but it ended in disaster for the Arabs and he was ordered to withdraw by Sulayman's successor,Umar II, in 718.
After his brotherYazid II (r. 720–724) came to power, Maslama was sent to suppress the revolt ofYazid ibn al-Muhallab in Iraq. Although successful, Maslama was recalled in 721, due to the Caliph's concerns over Maslama's growing power asgovernor of Iraq. Maslama was excluded from the line of succession because his mother was aslave concubine, but he secured the accession of his other brother,Hisham (r. 724–743). Under Hisham, Maslama resumed the campaigns against the Byzantines and the Khazars, with mixed results. In 732, he was replaced by his cousin, the future caliphMarwan II (r. 744–750).
Maslama was granted extensive estates by his brothers, investing considerable sums to reclaim and develop agricultural lands inBalis, theBalikh valley, and themarshlands of southern Iraq. The estates were inherited by his descendants, but were mostly confiscated by theAbbasid dynasty after theytoppled the Umayyads in 750. Nonetheless, out of respect for Maslama's battlefield reputation, his descendants were largely spared from the Abbasids' wide-scale persecutions of theUmayyad family.
Maslama was a son of theUmayyadcaliphAbd al-Malik ibn Marwan (r. 685–705) and half-brother of the caliphsal-Walid I (r. 705–715),Sulayman (r. 715–717),Yazid II (r. 720–724) andHisham (r. 724–743).[3][4] Maslama himself was excluded from the line of succession as his mother was aslave concubine.[5][6] Around 691, Abd al-Malik arranged Maslama's marriage to al-Rabab, the daughter of theQaysi tribal chiefZufar ibn al-Harith al-Kilabi, as part of the settlement to end Zufar's revolt against the Umayyads.[7]
Maslama is first mentioned as leading, along with his nephewal-Abbas ibn al-Walid, the annual summer campaign (sa'ifa; pl.sawa'if) against theByzantine Empire in 705.[5] His first major expedition was the707–708 campaign against the Byzantine city ofTyana in southeasternAsia Minor, which was launched in retaliation for the defeat and death of the distinguished general Maimun theMardaite the year before. The siege lasted through winter and the Arab army faced great hardship, but after the Arabs defeated a Byzantine relief force in spring 708, the city surrendered.[4][6][8] A few months later, in the summer, Maslama led another expedition into Asia Minor and defeated a Byzantine army nearAmorium, while in 709 he raided into the region ofIsauria.[8]
In the same year, Maslama was appointed military governor of theJazira,Armenia andAdharbayjan, succeeding his uncleMuhammad ibn Marwan.[3][5][6][9] This he added to the post of governor ofJund Qinnasrin in northernSyria, which he already held during his father's reign.[10] His governorship of Qinnasrin was not as well-documented by early Arabic chroniclers as his other posts.[11] Together, command of these provinces effectively gave him complete control of the Caliphate's entire northwestern border. From this position he launched several campaigns against the Byzantines, devastatingGalatia and sackingAmaseia in 712, and takingMelitene in 714.[3][5][6]
Maslama was also the first to establish the Caliphate's presence north of theCaucasus, leading to the commencement of direct conflict with theKhazars (theSecond Arab–Khazar War).[12] Sources date the resumption of the conflict as early as 707 with a campaign by Maslama inAdharbayjan and up toDerbent (known in Arabic as Bab al-Abwab, 'Gate of Gates'). Further attacks on Derbent are reported by different sources in 708 by Muhammad ibn Marwan and the following year again by Maslama.[13]
In 713/14, Maslama led an expedition which captured Derbent, reportedly after a resident showed him a secret underground passage.[5][14] The Armenian historianŁewond claims that the Arabs, realizing that they could not hold the fortress, razed its walls.[14] Maslama then drove deeper into Khazar territory. The Khazarkhagan confronted the Arabs at the city of Tarku but, apart from a series of single combats bychampions, the two armies did not engage for several days. The imminent arrival of Khazar reinforcements under the generalAlp' forced Maslama to quickly abandon his campaign and retreat to Iberia, leaving his camp with all its equipment as a ruse.[15]
The early Muslim sources generally credit Maslama with leading theHajj pilgrimage toMecca in 713, though his nephewAbd al-Aziz ibn al-Walid is also cited as the leader that year.[16][17] Leadership of thesawa'if and the annual Hajj were both prestigious commands, which under the Umayyads were almost exclusively held by prominent members of the dynasty.[18]
From 715 Maslama was the leading general in the plans of his brother, Caliph Sulayman, to conquer the Byzantine capital,Constantinople, as Sulayman himself was too ill to lead the campaign in person.[19] Maslama led a huge army, which sources report to have numbered 120,000 men and 1,800 ships.[20][21] In late 715, the Arab vanguard crossed theTaurus Mountains into Byzantine territory, Maslama following in spring 716 with the main army and the fleet. The Arabs' plans were aided by the recurrence of civil strife, whichhad plagued the Byzantines since 695; EmperorAnastasius II was overthrown byTheodosius III in 715, who was in turn opposed by thestrategos of theAnatolic Theme,Leo the Isaurian. Maslama hoped to use the divisions among the Byzantines for his own benefit and initiated contacts with Leo, but the latter used the negotiations to outwit the Arab general and occupied for himself the strategic city of Amorium, which Maslama had intended to use as his winter base. As a result, Maslama marched further west, to the coastlands of theThracesian Theme. There he spent the winter, while Leo marched against Theodosius in Constantinople, which he entered in March 717.[22][23]
In early summer 717, Maslama with his army crossed from Asia into Europe over theDardanelles, and proceeded to besiege Constantinople from land and sea. His navy, however, was soon neutralized by the use ofGreek fire, and as his army was unable to overcome the city'sland defences, the siege continued into the winter, which was especially severe that year, with snow covering the ground for three months. Maslama had brought along many supplies, but they either soon ran out or were lost—Arab accounts make much of Leo tricking the Arab general yet again during negotiations into handing over or destroying a significant part of his hoarded supplies[24]—and the army began to suffer from hunger and disease.[25][26]
In spring, reinforcements arrived in the form of two large fleets fromEgypt andIfriqiya, but a large part of their crews, who were mostly conscripted Christians, went over to the Byzantines, and Leo's navy managed to destroy or capture the Arab fleets. The Byzantines also defeated an Arab army marching to aid the besiegers through Asia Minor, while Maslama's men had to contend with attacks by theBulgars as well, which cost them many men. The siege had clearly failed, and the new Caliph,Umar II (r. 717–720), ordered Maslama to retreat. On 15 August 718, after thirteen months of siege, the Arabs departed.[27][28]
After his failure at Constantinople, Maslama was dispatched toIraq to quell theKharijites, an Islamic sect opposed to the Umayyads. Following Umar's death and the accession of his brother Yazid II in 720, he was tasked with suppressing the mass Iraqi revolt led byYazid ibn al-Muhallab, whom he defeated and killed in August 720.[5][4][6] Asgovernor of Iraq, a major provincial office whose authority extended over the eastern half of the Caliphate, Maslama championed the Qays in theirfactional conflict with theYaman, whose interests Ibn al-Muhallab had represented. Maslama dismissed all the Yamani sub-governors of Iraq and the eastern provinces and voided all the orders Ibn al-Muhallab had issued while in office.[29] Maslama soon fell out of favour with the Caliph, who resented and feared his power as governor of Iraq, as well as his interference in the caliphal succession: Maslama favoured his brother Hisham over Yazid's sonal-Walid. Yazid recalled Maslama from his post, ostensibly because he had failed to deliver his provinces' tax haul to the caliphal capital,Damascus, and replaced him with Maslama's Qaysi protege,Umar ibn Hubayra al-Fazari.[5][6][30]
Maslama then disappears from the sources and re-emerges in 725, shortly after Yazid's death and the accession of Hisham, who sent Maslama to replace the veteran generalal-Jarrah ibn Abdallah al-Hakami in the Caucasus front against the Khazars. Initially, however, Maslama was mostly active in the Byzantine front, and the war against the Khazars was delegated toal-Harith ibn Amr al-Ta'i.[5][31][32] In winter 725, Maslama led an expedition against Asia Minor from Melitene, which culminated in the sack ofCaesarea on 13 January 726. Along with the capture ofGangra byAbdallah al-Battal in 727, this was one of the major successes of Arab arms against the Byzantines in the 720s. A few months later, he also led the otherwise unremarkable northernsa'ifa into Byzantine territory.[3][4][33]
Maslama's attention was then diverted to the Khazar front, where 726 had seen major Khazar invasions into Albania and Adharbayjan.[32][34] Both sides escalated their commitment in 727: Maslama for the first time confronted thekhagan himself.[34] The Arabs took the offensive, probably reinforced with Syrian and Jaziran troops. Maslama recovered the Darial Pass and pushed into Khazar territory, campaigning there until the onset of winter forced him to return to Adharbayjan.[35][34]
A second invasion in the following year, ended in what the historianKhalid Yahya Blankinship calls a "near disaster". Arab sources report that the Umayyad troops fought for thirty or forty days in the mud, with continuous rain, before defeating thekhagan on 17 September 728. The impact of their victory is questionable, however; Maslama was ambushed by the Khazars upon his return, and the Arabs abandoned their baggage train and fled through the Darial Pass to safety.[36][37]
After this campaign, Maslama was replaced as governor yet again by al-Jarrah. Despite his energy, Maslama's campaigns failed to produce the desired results; by 729, the Arabs had lost control of northeastern Transcaucasia and were again on the defensive, with al-Jarrah having to defend Adharbayjan against a Khazar invasion.[36][38][39] He is then recorded by the Byzantine chroniclerTheophanes the Confessor as having been responsible for the sack of the fortress ofCharsianon in late 730, but Arab sources creditMu'awiya ibn Hisham for this act.[40]
In the Caucasus, the situation quickly deteriorated after Maslama's departure. While al-Jarrah campaigned north of the Caucasus, the Khazars swung behind him and attacked his main base,Ardabil. Hastening to relieve the city, al-Jarrah was defeated and killed, and his army practically annihilated in abattle outside the city on 9 December 730.[41][42][43]
With Khazar detachments ranging unopposed as far as Mosul, Caliph Hisham again appointed Maslama as governor of Armenia and Adharbayjan to fight the Khazars. While Maslama was assembling his force, the veteran generalSa'id ibn Amr al-Harashi was sent to try and halt the Khazar advance. Sa'id was able to do more than that, defeating the dispersed Khazar forces, and recovering towns and prisoners.[44][45][46] Sa'id's unexpected success angered Maslama; Łewond writes that Sa'id had won the war and received what glory (and booty) there was to be had. Sa'id was relieved of his command in early 731 by Maslama and imprisoned atQabala and Bardha'a, charged with endangering the army by disobeying orders, and was released only after the caliph intervened on his behalf.[47][48][49]
At the command of a large army, Maslama took the offensive. He restored the provinces of Albania to Muslim allegiance (after punishing the inhabitants of Khaydhan who resisted him) and reached Derbent, where he found a Khazar garrison of 1,000 men and their families.[49][50] Leaving al-Harith ibn Amr al-Ta'i to keep watch there, Maslama advanced north. Although details of this campaign may be conflated in the sources with his earlier 728 campaign, he apparently took Khamzin, Balanjar, and Samandar before being forced to retreat after a confrontation with the main Khazar army under thekhagan. Leaving their campfires burning, the Arabs withdrew in the middle of the night and quickly reached Derbent in a series of forced marches. The Khazars shadowed Maslama's march south and attacked him near Derbent, but the Arab army (augmented by local levies) resisted until a small, elite force attacked thekhagan's tent and wounded him. The Muslims, encouraged, then defeated the Khazars.[51][52][53]
Taking advantage of his victory, Maslama poisoned the water supply of Derbent to drive the Khazar garrison out. He re-established the city as an Arab military colony (misr), restoring its fortifications and garrisoning it with 24,000 troops, mostly from Syria, divided into quarters by their district (jund) of origin.[54][55][56] Leaving his relativeMarwan ibn Muhammad (later the last Umayyad caliph, from 744 to 750) in command at Derbent, Maslama returned with the rest of his army south of the Caucasus for the winter.[54][55][57]
Despite the capture of Derbent, Maslama's was apparently unsatisfactory to Hisham, who replaced his brother in March 732 with Marwan ibn Muhammad.[54]
Maslama thereafter retired from public life, possibly to his extensive estates in northern Syria.[5] He backed Hisham's attempts to install his son,Abu Shakir Maslama, as his successor, in place of the heir apparent, Yazid II's son al-Walid.[58] Maslama died on 24 December 738.[5] With his death, Hisham lost a major supporter for his succession plans in the Umayyad family. Al-Walid acceded after Hisham's death in 743.[59]
Maslama was among "the most celebrated generals of the Umayyad house", in the words of the historianPatricia Crone.[10] As the commander of the great assault on Constantinople and the "founder of Islamic Derbent",[5] for over twenty years in the early 8th century, Maslama was "one of the principal props of Umayyad power and a foremost actor on the stage of the East", according to the historianDouglas M. Dunlop.[32] His fame spread far and wide in theMuslim world, and his exploits and chivalry passed into legend.[32]
In later traditions, Maslama's fortification of Derbent was parallelized with thesimilar efforts by the 6th-century Sasanian monarchKhosrow Anushirvan and even withAlexander the Great's legendary 'Wall of Alexander', meant to keepGog and Magog (here equated with the Khazars) at bay.[60] His activity in the region ensured his continued presence in the traditions of North Caucasus Muslims. Thus, according to the 13th-century geographerZakariya al-Qazwini, Muslims went on pilgrimage to a mosque near Derbent where a sword reputed to have belonged to Maslama was kept in itsmihrab.[61]
Maslama's attempt to capture Constantinople in particular became celebrated in later Muslim literature, with several surviving accounts, mostly semi-fictional, in which the historical defeat was transformed into a sort of victory: Maslama was said to have departed only after symbolically entering the Byzantine capital on his horse accompanied by thirty riders; Leo received him with honour and led him to theHagia Sophia, where the emperor paid homage to the Arab general.[62][63] The tales of the siege influenced similar episodes inArabic epic literature, where Maslama appears associated with Abdallah al-Battal, another legendary Arab hero of the wars against Byzantium.[64][65] His campaign against Constantinople continued to provide inspiration to later Muslim authors, from theMuhadarat al-Abrar ascribed to the 13th-century Andalusian mysticIbn Arabi, to thekhamsa of the 17th-century Ottoman poet Nargisi.[32]
Furthermore, Byzantine tradition, as recorded in the 10th-centuryDe Administrando Imperio, held that during the siege Maslama convinced the Byzantines to build Constantinople's firstmosque, near the city'spraetorium.[4] In reality, the mosque near thepraetorium was most likely erected in about 860, as a result of an Arab embassy in that year. It survived down to thesack of the city by theFourth Crusade.[66] LaterOttoman tradition also ascribed the building of theArap Mosque (located outside Constantinople proper inGalata) to Maslama, although it erroneously dated this to around 686, probably confusing Maslama's attack with thefirst Arab siege in the 670s.[67]
Several Umayyad princes were granted estates by the caliphs, usually land of little value, which the princes developed for profit.[68] Abd al-Malik or al-Walid I granted Maslama an estate atBalis and its environs, where agriculture was rain-dependent.[69][70] The previous inhabitants of Balis had fled the town during the early 7th-centuryMuslim conquest and it was re-settled by Syrian Arab tribal warriors who converted to Islam.[69] Upon his own initiative or per the inhabitants' request, Maslama revitalized the lands by digging a canal there, called Nahr Maslama after him, to irrigate its fields, and built a wall around Balis.[71] The estate was not subject to the land tax (kharaj) paid by non-Muslims; it paid the minimaltithe (ushr) to the state. Maslama collected one third of the remaining yield, the rest going to the inhabitants, who were effectively sharecroppers.[72][73]
An extensive former canal that was excavated near the site ofDibsi Faraj (medieval Qasirin), in the 1970s, has been identified with Nahr Maslama. The canal ran parallel to the Euphrates river, corresponding with medieval accounts tracing Nahr Maslama's route from Balis through Qasirin to the site ofSiffin (Tell Abu Hureyra). The 8th-centurySyriacChronicle of Zuqnin mentions that Maslama built several villages and forts along the canal.[74] The early Muslim sources mention one fortified village he founded, Na'ura (Waterwheel), between Balis andAleppo, which has not been identified. It remained inhabited at least until the 10th century.[75] Between his frequent military campaigns and his other estates in Syria and the Jazira, it is unlikely Maslama spent significant time in Balis before his retirement. In his absence, the Umayyads at Balis were led by his brotherSa'id al-Khayr.[70]
Maslama founded the dual site ofHisn Maslama andBajadda on both sides of theBalikh River valley. There, he built a fortified compound and dug a canal, also known as Nahr Maslama, to transport water from the Balikh to a large cistern which supplied the new town, whose inhabitants were Muslim landed settlers. He granted Bajadda to one of his Qaysi lieutenants,Asid ibn Zafir al-Sulami, who further developed it.[76] Hisn Maslama, which Maslama probably used as one of his residences,[77] was probably abandoned after the mid-9th century.[76]
Another of Maslama's major land reclamation projects was in themarshes of southern Iraq. There, frequent breaches of embankments caused mass flooding, which ruined the farmlands of the region. Al-Walid I would not fund the restoration of the farms due to the high cost, estimated to be 3,000,000dirhams. Instead, Maslama volunteered to pay the sum in exchange for the Caliph granting him the land.[71] Maslama drained the marshes by digging a canal and brought farmers to cultivate the reclaimed lands, enabling his estates to prosper.[78] According to the historianHugh N. Kennedy, Maslama "clearly recouped his investment, presumably from a share of the crops".[72][c]
The historianJere L. Bacharach speculates that Maslama was the most likely founder of theUmayyad Mosque of Aleppo, whose original construction is otherwise attributed to al-Walid I or Sulayman. Most of the present structure dates to the 12th–13th centuries. Bacharach bases his view on Maslama's governorship of Qinnasrin and his possible use of Aleppo as a base for thesawa'if, for which acongregational mosque to serve the troops would have made sense.[11] The Umayyad-eraqasr (castle) in Balis, a fortified residence with a canal and a wool production center, was possibly a construction by Maslama or Sa'id al-Khayr.[80] Maslama may have been responsible for some construction works in the town ofQinnasrin.[11] In Damascus, he had aniwan (enclosed hall) called after him alongside the residences of other Umayyad dynasts, including the caliphalKhadra Palace, situated behind theUmayyad Mosque.[81][82]
Maslama's descendants inherited his estates and continued living in northern Syria after his death. In the aftermath of theAbbasid Revolution, which toppled the Umayyads in 750, an Abbasid officer harassed Maslama's family and seized his fortified residence at Na'ura. The incident provoked the Qaysi allies of Maslama's family, led by Zufar ibn al-Harith's grandsonAbu al-Ward, to revolt against the Abbasids.[75] The revolt was soon after quashed and Maslama's estates were confiscated and transferred to the Abbasids.[83][d] Around the same time, a son of Maslama, Muhammad, raised a revolt inHarran, but it was also suppressed.[84]
The Abbasid caliphs were nonetheless sympathetic toward the memory of Maslama and toward his family.[85] This was probably due to Maslama's reputation as a sober Muslim and fame as aghazi (warrior) against the Byzantines.[86] His descendants remained in northern Syria, where several were still recorded in the sources around a century later.[84] His grandson,Muhammad ibn Yazid al-Hisni, a poet, was spared by Caliphal-Mahdi when the latter visited Hisn Maslama in 780, despite making a slight toward the Abbasids in verse.[85] One of Maslama's descendants,Maslama ibn Ya'qub, seized control of Damascus with the backing of Qaysi tribesmen and proclaimed himself caliph inc. 813, during theGreat Abbasid Civil War. He was ousted shortly after and died in hiding.[87] A 10th-century descendant of Maslama,[88]Abu Bakr ibn al-Azraq, was a prominent poet in theFatimid Caliphate andUmayyad Spain.[89][e]
