the Hadhrami Revolution It was a rebellion that took place in Basra in 658 during the period of the First Fitna, specifically after the Battle of Siffin, and the uprising was in support of Muawiya ibn Abi Sufyan.[1]

After Muawiya’s campaign in Egypt, his victory there, and the killing of Muhammad ibn Abi Bakr, he sent Ibn al-Hadrami to Basra to incite a revolt.[2] His aim was to make the people of Basra and Kufa pledge allegiance to Muawiya against the caliphate of Ali ibn Abi Talib.[3]

When Abdullah arrived in Basra, he sought the favor of the Azd tribe while distancing himself from the Banu Rabi‘a.[4] Because he had settled in the territory of Banu Tamim, he courted their support as well. He attempted to persuade them by claiming that Ali was responsible for the killing of Uthman ibn Affan, asserting such arguments, and declaring Muawiya the Commander of the Faithful. However, he was opposed by Ibn Abbas and al-Dahhak ibn Qays al-Hilali.[5]

The revolt was essentially a tribal conflict between the Tamim and the Azd,[6] as there was ongoing strife between the two tribes. The Tamim sided with al-Hadrami’s revolt, but in the end, Abdullah al-Hadrami was killed,[7] the uprising was crushed, and Basra was restored to Ali’s authority.
