The state established in the east of the caliphate-the samanids
Abstract
AbstractThis article is about the genealogy and history of the Samanid dynasty, which emerged in the eastern regions of the Abbasid Caliphate in the middle of the ninth century. The information given in the article is based on historical sources. The consensus of various sources is that this dynasty was from the Sogdians. This is probably due to the fact that the authors of these sources aimed to gain political attention to the Samanid family. The regions of Mawarannahr and Khorasan were considered to be the rebellious regions of the Abbasid Caliphate during the rise of the Samanids. The most famous of these revolts rose in 805–806 under the leadership of Rafi ibn al-Layth. At the same time, the Saffarid threat was growing. Ya'qub ibn al-Layth managed to cross the Jaihun River and enter Bukhara. At that time, Ahmad ibn Umar, the representative of Nasr ibn Ahmad, hid in fear of the situation.
