Caliph Harun al-Rashid, the fifth ‘Abbasid caliph appointed Salim al-Yunis (Died 780 A.D), Tyfur ibn ‘Abdullah (Dismissed 790 A.D), ‘Abd al-Rahman ibn ‘Abd al-Malik (Resigned 790 A.D) Ayoub ibn Jaffar al-Hashimi (Died 800 A.D) and Daud ibn Yazid al-Muhallabi (Ruled period 800, died 820 A.D) last governor of Muhallabi family, one after the other, to the Government of Sind. None of these governors seems to have taken interest in the affairs of Sind and they discharged their duties as mere tax collectors. They however carried on their intrigues by creating rift between the Arabs and the locals and also in between the Arabs themselves, who were divided into two main divisions of the Mudar and Himyar.
