Ibrahim ibn Hamdan

Ibrahim ibn Hamdan (Arabic: إبراهيم بن حمدان; d. 920/1) was an early member of the Hamdanid dynasty, who served the Abbasid Caliphate as a provincial governor.

He first appears during 908, when his brother, Husayn, was involved in the failed usurpation of Ibn al-Mu'tazz and was pursued by the Abbasid government. Along with the rest of Husayn's brothers, Ibrahim remained loyal to the Abbasids, and negotiated a pardon for Husayn, who was readmitted to Abbasid service.[1] During another revolt of Husayn in 914–915, Ibrahim was suspected of involvement and briefly imprisoned, along with another brother, Abdallah.[1] Released, Ibrahim was appointed governor of the Upper Mesopotamian district of Diyar Rabi'a in 919/20. He died in the next year, and was succeeded by one of his brothers, Dawud.[1]
