I was researching the story of the Hamdanid Emirs and came across a
very in depth article about them in volume III of the Encyclopedia of
Islam pages 126-131 which lists the father, grandfather, and great
grandfather of the last Hamdanid ruler in Northern Iraq, Abu Taghlib.
The article names his full name as "Fadl Allah Abu Taghlib
al-Ghandanfar". Abu Taghlib deposed his father in 967 and ruled until
978 when Mosul was captured by the Buwayhid forces. He was executed in
the year 979 after being taken prisoner by Mufarridj, the master of
Ramla, Palestine.
His father was "Al-Hasan b. Abd Allah b. Hamdan" who was also known
as "Nasir al-Dawla." He had a very volatile reign from 929 until he was
deposed by his son Abu Taghlib in 967. For about a year (942-943),
Nasir al-Dawla made himself "amir al-umara" and controlled what was left
of the Abbasid Empire until he was kicked out of office by a revolt led
by one of his officers and returned to Mosul. After being deposed by
his son in 967, Nasir al-Dawla was exiled to Ardumusht, where he died in
969.
Nasir al-Dawla's father was "Abd Allah b. Hamdan" who was known as
"Abu l-Haydja". Abu l-Haydja was governor of Mosul off and on from 905
until 929, when he became involved in a plot to make Muhammad al-Kahir
Caliph of the Abbasid Empire. The plot backfired and Abu l-Haydja died
"heroically" defending Al-Kahir.
Abu l-Haydja's father was "Hamdan b. Hamdun b. al-Harith" who is
first mentioned in the historical record as taking part in an army
fighting against the Kharidjis of Djazira (northern Iraq).
The article also states that "the Hamdanids are descended from Adi
b. Usama ... b. Taghlib, which is why they are called Taghlibis and
Adawis(see their genealogical tree in Wüstenfeld, Tabellen, C, 32 and in
M. Canard, Histoire de la dynastie des Hamdanides de Jazira et de Syrie,
i, Algers 1951, 287-8; cf. the appendix to the edition of the Diwan of
Abu Firas by S. Dahan, Beirut 1944)," and further states that the family
originated in Barkaid in the eastern part of the Djazira.
The abbreviation "b." stands for the word "bin" which means "son of".
It is a variation of the Arabic word "ibn" which also means "son."
I hope this information will be helpful to any researchers of the Hamdanid
family.
The article on Nasir al-Dawla on pages 994 and 995 names Nasir al-Dawla's
Kurdish wife "Fatima bint Ahmad" as the mother of Abu Taghlib".
