Al-Husayn ibn Sa'id
From Infogalactic: the planetary knowledge core
Abu 'Abdallāh al-Husayn ibn Sa'id ibn Hamdan was a member of the Hamdanid dynasty, grandson of its founder, Hamdan ibn Hamdun, and cousin of the emirs Nasir al-Dawla and Sayf al-Dawla.
In 944, he was sent by Nasir al-Dawla to seize Syria, allocated to the Hamdanids by the amir al-umara Tuzun, from the forces of Muhammad ibn Tughj al-Ikhshid. Husayn was initially successful in occupying the north of the country, but was soon driven out of Syria by Ikhsidid forces, led by al-Ikhshid himself.[1] Husayn married Sarirah, a former slave of Ibn Ra'iq.
