“Ya’qūb ibn al-Layth al-Saffār”
(founder of the ‘saffarid dynasty’)
(840 – 879)
.
*the saffarid dynasty (persian: سلسله صفاریان) was a “muslim persianate” dynasty from ‘sistan’ that ruled over parts of ‘eastern iran’, with its capital at ‘zaranj’ (a city now in ‘southwestern afghanistan’), ‘khorasan’, ‘afghanistan’, and ‘sistan’ from ‘861’ to ‘1003’*
.
(the dynasty (of ‘persian origin’) was founded by ‘Ya’qub bin Laith as-Saffar’, born in ‘840’ in a small town called ‘karnin’ (‘qarnin’), which was located east of ‘zaranj’ and west of ‘bost’, in what is now ‘afghanistan’ – a native of ‘sistan’ and a local ayyar, who worked as a coppersmith (ṣaffār) before becoming a ‘warlord’)
(he seized control of the ‘sistan region’ and began conquering most of ‘iran’ and ‘afghanistan’, as well as parts of ‘pakistan’, ‘tajikestan’, and ‘uzbekistan’)
(the ‘saffarids’ used their capital ‘zaranj’ as a base for an aggressive expansion eastward and westward)
(they first invaded the areas south of the ‘hindu kush’ in ‘afghanistan’ and then overthrew the ‘persian tahirid’ dynasty, annexing ‘khorasan’ in ‘873’)
(by the time of ya’qub’s death, he had conquered the ‘kabul valley’, ‘sindh’, ‘tocharistan’, ‘makran’ (or ‘balochistan’), ‘kerman’, ‘fars’, ‘khorasan’, and nearly reached ‘baghdad’ but then suffered a defeat by the ‘abbasids’)
(the ‘saffarid empire’ did not last long after ya’qub’s death)
(his brother and successor (‘amr bin laith’) was defeated at the ‘battle of balkh’ against ‘ismail samani’ in ‘900’)
(“amr bin laith” was forced to surrender most of his territories to the new rulers)
.
(the ‘saffarids’ were subsequently confined to their heartland of ‘sistan’, with their role reduced to that of vassals of the “samanids” + their successors)
