Tahir ibn Husayn (Persian: طاهر بن حسین, Arabic: طاهر بن الحسين), also known as Dhu'l-Yaminayn (Arabic: ذو اليمينين, "the ambidextrous"), and al-A'war (Arabic: الأعور, "the one-eyed"), was an Iranian general and governor during the Abbasid caliphate. Specifically, he served under al-Ma'mun during the Fourth Fitna and led the armies that would defeat al-Amin, making al-Ma'mun the caliph. He was then rewarded as governor of Khorasan, which marked the beginning of the Tahirid dynasty.
