An Arab dynasty (Banu 'Ijl) that governed the Jibal region for the Abbasid caliphs from a power base near Hamadan, growing effectively independent as caliphal authority weakened after 861.
Defeated and reincorporated into the Abbasid Caliphate by an Abbasid army in the last decade of the 9th century.
No dedicated Open-Library-verifiable monograph on the Dulafids exists; Bosworth's manual is the standard chronological/genealogical reference and carries a dedicated Dulafid entry.
