Tuhia he tonu mo tenei irava - I te Fitna Tuatahi
, Caliph Ali (r. 656<unk>661) i whakatu a Muhammad ibn Abi Bakr hei kawana o Ihipa, engari i arahi a Amr i tetahi whakaekenga i te raumati o te 658 i hinga ai a Ibn Abi Bakr i te whenua mo nga Umayyads. I mahi a Amr hei kawana tae noa ki tona matenga i te 664. Mai i te 667/8 tae noa ki te 682, i whakahaerehia te kawanatanga e tetahi atu kaitautoko pro-Umayyad, a Maslama ibn Mukhallad al-Ansari. I te wa o te Fitna Tuarua, i tautoko a Ibn al-Zubayr i nga Kharijites i Ihipa ka tukuna e ia tetahi kawana o tana ake, a Abd al-Rahman ibn Utba al-Fihri, ki te kawanatanga. Ko te kawanatanga a Zubayrid i tautokohia e Kharijite he tino kore i te hunga Arapi o te rohe, nana i karanga te caliph Umayyad a Marwan I (r. 684<unk>685) mō ngā āwhina. I te marama o Tihema 684, ka whakaekehia a Marwan ki Ihipa ka riro ano i a ia me te ngawari. I whakanohoia e Marwan tana tama a Abd al-Aziz hei kawana. I te whakawhirinaki ki ona hononga tata ki te "jund", i whakahaerehia e Abd al-Aziz te whenua mo nga tau 20, i te pai ki te mana motuhake me te whakahaere hei "de facto" kawana. I tirotiro a Abd al-Aziz i te otinga o te wikitoria a te Mahometa o Awherika ki te Raki; ko ia nana i whakatu a Musa ibn Nusayr ki tana tuunga hei kawana mo Ifriqiya. I tumanako a Abd al-Aziz kia whai mana tana tama, engari i tona matenga, ka tukuna e te Caliph Abd al-Malik ibn Marwan (685<unk>695) tana tama ake, a Abdallah, hei kawana i roto i te nekehanga ki te whakahoki mai i te mana me te aukati i te whenua kia waiho hei rohe tuku iho.
