Details
Abū Umayya ʿAmr ibn Saʿīd ibn al-ʿĀṣ al-Umawī (Arabic: عمرو بن سعيد بن العاص بن أمية الأموي; died 689/90), better known as al-Ashdaq (الأشدق), was a member of Banu Umayya, general and a contender for the caliphal throne. He served as the governor of Medina in 680, during the reign of Caliph Yazid I (r. 680–683) and later fought off attempts by the Zubayrids to conquer Syria in 684 and 685 during the reign of Caliph Marwan I. His attempted coup against Caliph Abd al-Malik (r. 685–705) in 689 ended with his surrender and ultimately his execution by Abd al-Malik himself.
