Abū ʿAbd al-Raḥmān ʿAbd Allāh ibn ʿĀmir ibn Kurayz[2] (Arabic: أبو عبد الرحمن عبد الله بن عامر بن كريز; 626–678) was a Rashidun politician and general. He served as the governor of Basra from 647 to 656 AD, during the reign of Rashidun Caliph Uthman ibn Affan. Through his father, he was a cousin of the Caliph. He is renowned for his administrative and military prowess, particularly for his successful campaigns of reconquest and pacification in the former territories of the Sasanian Empire, in what is now present-day Iran and Afghanistan.[3]
