The Kharijite Rebellions (684–693) were a series of uprisings that emerged during the Second Fitna in opposition to Umayyad rule. Led by Najda ibn Amir al-Hanafi, the Najdat faction established control over the region of al-Yamama.[1][2]

The Rebellion

By the late 680s the Kharijites had expanded into Yemen, consolidating power over much of Arabia, and threatening the Hejaz with raids.[3][4]

Internal fragmentations had split and weakened the group, as it would lead to the killing of Najda, passing the groups leadership to Abu Fudayk, who continued resistance until their defeat by the Umayyads.[5][6]

The defeat had removed the group's political ability, and the group declined and subsequently lost all its members.[7][8]
