Notes:
Abu l-Abbas al-Fadl ibn Sahl ibn Zadhanfarukh al-Sarakhsi (Arabic: أبو العباس الفضل بن سهل بن زادانفروخ السرخسي Abu ’l-ʿAbbās al-Faḍl b. Sahl b. Zādānfarrūḫ as-Saraḫsī died 818) titled Dhu 'l-Ri'āsatayn ("the man of the two commands") was a famous Persian[1] vizier of the Abbasid era in Khurasan who served under Caliph al-Ma'mun (r. 813). He played a crucial role in the civil war between al-Ma'mun and his brother al-Amin (r. 809) and was the de facto ruler of the Caliphate until 817.
