Al-Ḥusayn ibn ʿAlī al-ʿĀbid ibn Hasan al-Mu'thallath ibn Hasan al-Mu'thannā ibn Hasan ibn Ali (Arabic: الحسين بن علي العابد) was an Alid who rebelled at Medina against the Abbasid caliph al-Hadi. His grandfather Hasan al-Mu'thallath is the grandson of Hasan ibn Ali. He was killed with many of his followers at the Battle of Fakhkh outside Mecca on 11 June 786, whence he is known to history as the Man of Fakhkh (Arabic: صاحب فخ, romanized: Ṣāḥib Fakhkh).[1][2]
