Fadl ibn Muhammad


Al-Fadhl ibn Muhammad al-Shaddadi and was later transferred to Ganja.
Al-Fadhl built a bridge across the Araxes with the intent to raid the Rawadids, and led an expedition against the Khazars around 1030. The Khazars reportedly killed 10,000 of his soldiers. Since the Khazar Khaganate had been destroyed in 969, it is unclear whether these Khazars were from a successor state or kingdom located in the Caucasus, were subjects of a Kipchak or Pecheneg ruler, or whether ibn al-Athir was mistaken or was using "Khazars" as a generic term for steppe people.
Al-Fadhl died in 1031 and was succeeded by his son Abu'l-Fath Musa.
