Muhammad ibn Ali al-Khalanji
Muhammad ibn Ali al-Khalanji or Ibrahim al-Khaliji or Muhammad ibn al-Khalij (Egyptian Arabic: محمد بن الخليج; possibly d. 905 AD) was one of the senior commanders of the Tulunid dynasty, who rebelled against the Abbasid Caliphate after the fall of the Tulunid emirate.
He was an Egyptian officer born in the Bay of Fustat and that's where the name "ibn al-Khalji" come from.
Ibn al-Khalij was one of the junior officers in a section of the Egyptian Tulunid army headed by Commander Safi al-Rumi, and there is not sufficient information about his upbringing or activity at that time.
After the fall of the Tulunid dynasty and the entry of the Abbasid armies into Egypt, the Abbasids committed crimes against humanity against Egyptians, whether soldiers or civilians. The historian Ibn Taghribirdi says about that incident:
“They attacked the homes of the people, plundered them, took their money, violated their harems, took the virgins, and did to the Egyptians what they would not do to the infidels.”
When the Abbasids first entered Egypt, they disbanded the Egyptian army and captured all the remaining officers and soldiers who remained from the last battle to defend the capital at that time, al-Qata'i, and sent them in batches to Baghdad. In one of these batches, there was an Egyptian officer named Mahammad bin al-Khalij or Mahammad bin Ali al-Khalanji.
On the way to Baghdad, the officer, Mahammad ibn al-Khalij, conspires with the captured officers, specifically with the Egyptian officer, Shafi’ al-Lulu’i. Thousands of Egyptian soldiers are liberated and attack the Abbasid soldiers. They are freed from captivity and return to Egypt.
On the way to the Egyptian army liberating Egypt, they entered the city of Ramla in Palestine and defeated the Abbasid army there, whose leader was Wasif bin Sawartkin the Younger. There in Ramla, Emir Mahammad bin al-Khalij ordered the proclamation in the minbars (pulpits) that Egypt had become independent again and that the state of Banu Tulun had returned. After that, the Egyptian army moved under the leadership of Ibn al-Khalij, and at Gaza they were met by the Abbasid army stationed in Egypt The Egyptian army won a landslide victory, then moved towards Arish and defeated the Abbasid garrison there, then to Farma and defeated the Abbasids there.
