Abu al-Khaṣīb Marzuq al-Sindi was a Sindi mawla and later Hajib (chamberlain) of second Abbasid caliph, Abu Ja'fr Mansur. In 760 AD, he was sent by Mansur to conquer Tabaristan from its Dabuyid ruler, Khurshid. After the conquest of Tabaristan, he was appointed as its first Abbasid governor, a position he retained till c. 765.
Biography
Marzuq had been earlier a client (mawali) of Muthanna b. al-Hajjaj b. Qutayba b. Muslim according to Ibn Isfandiyar. He is first mentioned in 756, when he was sent by Mansur as his chamberlain to Abu Muslim Khurasani for calculating what he had acquired by defeating Abdullah ibn Ali, caliph's uncle. When Abu Muslim refused to handover the wealth, Marzuq returned to Mansur and told him about Abu Muslim's intention. This sowed seeds of distrust between caliph and Abu Muslim, which ultimately lead to Abu Muslim's executiona few months later. Marzuq also helped Ma'n ibn Za'ida to go into hiding and sought protection for him, ultimately helping him in gaining indemnity.
Conquest of Tabaristan (760)
In 759, Dabuyid Ispahbadh of Tabaristan, Khurshid, rebelled and killed Muslims living in Tabaristan. Thus, Mansur sent Marzuq along with Khazim b. Khuzaymah and Rawh b. Hatim against him. They besieged his fortress, however, when siege prolonged, Marzuq resorted to a stratagem, ultimately conquering the fortress. Khurshid later committed suicide by licking poison. Marzuq was later appointed as governor of Tabaristan, holding the position till 765.
