Shayban ibn Ahmad ibn Tulun (شيبان بن أحمد بن طولون) was the fifth and last vassal Emir of the Tulunids in Egypt (904-905). In 904–905 al-Muktafi invaded Egypt and reincorporated the country fully into the Abbasid Empire.[1]
Shayban was one of the son of Ahmad ibn Tulun, he succeeded his nephew Harun ibn Khumarawayh, who was killed in a mutiny in December 904 during the invasion of Egypt by the Abbasid Caliphate. After years of mismanagement, the emirate was beyond rescue - he was forced to retreat with his army to Fustat, where on 10 January 905 he surrendered unconditionally to the Abbasid commander Muhammad ibn Sulayman al-Katib, ending the rule of the Tulunids.
