Abu 'l-Aghlâb al Abbâs ibn al-Fadl ibn Ya'qùb al-Fazari (died 14 August 861) was Emir of Palermo from 851 to 861. He belonged to the Aghlabid dynasty ruling Kairouan and descended from the Fazara tribe.[1] Before taking power he was the protagonist of the battle of Butera in 845.[2] During his emirate, characterized by intense military activity, the Arabs were able to take Enna after a long siege that ended on January 24, 859.[3][4]
