Biography
He participated in the Battle of Yarmuk,[6] the Battle of al-Qādisiyyah,[7] and the Battle of Jalula.[8]
According to Ali ibn al-Athir in his Usd al-ghabah fi marifat al-Saḥabah, Mu'awiyah ibn Hudayj participated in the Muslim conquest of North Africa under Abdallah ibn Sa'd against the Berbers.[9] Ibn Hudayj continued to serve under Abdullah ibn Abi Sarh during the siege of Dongola, capital of Makuria kingdom.[10][9] During this battle, Ibn Hudayj lost one of his eye.[10] Later in the year of 44 AH (664-665 AD), Ibn Hudayj launched a sudden attack towards island of Sicily.[11] Ibn Hudayj brought two hundred ships during this invasion which was prepared by his superior, Mu'awiyah.[12] Ibn Hudayj managed to seized massive spoils of war from this campaign, when he returned to Levant in 665 AD.[12] According to Al-Baladhuri, He invaded the island of Sicily on the authority of Mu'awiyah ibn Abi Sufyan, and the first Muslim commander to infest the island.[13]
After the first invasion, Ibn Hudayj continued to raid the island routinely for the rest of Muslim conquest.[13]
He led 10,000 troops in the area of Sousse (Hadrumetum).[6]
After the Siege of Uthman and Uthman's death, Ibn Hudayj called for retribution.[14] In 658, he killed Muhammad ibn Abi Bakr.
He garrisoned troops in the Kairouan area[15] (654-665) and conducted operations against Hadrumetum in the Tacape (Lesser Syrtis) region. He would conduct raids on Sicily in 44 AH (666).[16] He was made the governor of Barqah (Cyrenaica) in 47 AH (669).[17]
Ibn Taghribirdi, Ibn al-Athir and al-Tabari all record a story that Ibn Hudayj blocked the appointment of Ibn Umm al-Hakam as governor of Egypt in 678, although he was long dead by that time.[3]
