Life
Abdallah's father, Khalid ibn" target="_blank">ibn Asid, embraced Islam during the conquest of Mecca in 629 and was killed fighting rebel Arab tribes at the Battle of Yamama in 633, during the Ridda wars. Abdallah was appointed the lieutenant governor of Fars or its Ardashir-Khwarrah district by Ziyad ibn" target="_blank">ibn Abih, Caliph Mu'awiya's practical viceroy of Iraq and the eastern Caliphate. He gained Ziyad's confidence and before Ziyad's death in 673, Abdallah was appointed his lieutenant governor in Kufa.
