ʿAlī ibn Muḥammad al-Zanjī (the name by which he is generally remembered in Muslim chronicles) was the leader of the Zanj Revolt in the last quarter of the 9th century in the marcite, in the Iraqi south, which managed to resist well over a decade thanks to the almost inextricable networks of canals that ran through them and in which the rebels had taken refuge, building a outline of the State and three towns.
Born in Warzanīn, near Rayy, it is said that he was nevertheless of arabe origins and he himself claimed his own ancestry alids.
After a failed insurrection attempt in Bahrein, ʿAlī ibn Muḥammad moved his activities to Baṣra, but unable to form a following, eventually moving to Baghdad.
He soon understood what a reservoir of protest and repressed anger was smoldering among the African slaves (the Zanj) employed in the work of continuous, very tiring "scraping" of the surface of the ground in southern Iraq, where the accumulation of phosphates would have produced (if we removed) the complete sterility of the soil, making it completely unsuitable for cultivation.
He then organized in great secrecy the revolt, which was launched on September 5, 869 and directed it with skill and great following among the Zanj, who recognized him as Mahdi, without however embracing Shaism, as it would have been logical to happen, rather a form of Kharigism, according to Bernard Lewis.[1]
The revolt was finally crushed not without considerable losses by the abbasid forces, led by al-Muwaffaq and his son (the future Califf al-Muʿtaḍid, and ʿAlī ibn Muḥammad was captured and beheaded on August 1, 883.
