Ibrahim al-Murtada
Ibrahim ibn Musa al-Murtada (Arabic: إبراهيم بن موسى المرتضی, romanized: ʾIbrāhīm ibn Mūsā al-Murtaḍā; died 825 or after 837), was a 9th-century Alid leader who led a rebellion against the Abbasid Caliphate in the Yemen in the aftermath of the Fourth Fitna. He later seized control of Mecca in c. 817, and was subsequently recognized as legal governor of the city by the caliph al-Ma'mun (r. 813–833).
