Abu 'Abdallah Muhammad

Abu 'Abdallah Muhammad (died 995) was the final ruler of the Afrighid dynasty of Khwarezm, reigning from 967 to 995, and the son and successor of Abu Sa'id Ahmad.

Despite internal turmoil within the Samanid realm, Khwarezm itself remained unaffected. In 992, however, Abu 'Abdallah provided military assistance to the Samanid ruler Nuh II against the Turkic Kara-Khanid Khanate. For this aid, he was granted several towns in northern Khurasan, including the strategically important town of Abiward. Nevertheless, Abu 'Ali Simjuri, who served as the governor of Khurasan, subsequently refused to cede these territories.

In 995, Ma'mun I ibn Muhammad, the Ma'munid ruler of Gurganj, invaded Abu 'Abdallah's domains. Abu 'Abdallah was executed, bringing an end to the Afrighid dynasty's rule and unifying the province of Khwarezm under Ma'mun I's control.
