Line 1: {{Short description\|Umayyad Caliphate of Córdoba general (died 1011)}} '''Wāḍiḥ al-Ṣiqlabī''' ({{~~Lang-~~Langx\|ar\|واضح الصقلبي}}; died November 1011) was a [[Saqaliba]] general of the late [[Umayyad dynasty\|Umayyad]] [[Caliphate of Córdoba]]. He served as governor of the [[Central March\|Middle March]] and as the ''[[ḥājib]]'', effectively prime minister, of the caliphs [[Muhammad II of Córdoba\|Muḥammad II]] (1010) and [[Hishām II]] (1010–1011). He played a major role in the opening of the final [[Fitna of al-Andalus\|''fitna'' (civil war) of Córdoba]]. Wāḍiḥ, a Slav,{{sfn\|Guichard\|2006\|p=118}} was the governor of the Middle March with his capital at [[Medinaceli]] from at least the 990s.{{sfn\|Kennedy\|1996\|p=117}}{{sfn\|Makki\|1994\|p=44}} In 997, the leader of the [[Maghrāwa]] [[Berbers\|Berber]] tribe in Africa, [[Zīrī ibn ʿAṭīya]], renounced his allegiance to Córdoba. In response, [[Almanzor\|al-Manṣūr]], the ''de facto'' ruler of the Caliphate, dispatched Wāḍiḥ to Africa at the head of a large army in 998 to expand the Umayyad beachhead there, which at the time consisted only of [[Ceuta]].{{sfn\|Kennedy\|1996\|p=121}} He later sent his son, [[Abd al-Malik al-Muzaffar\|ʿAbd al-Malik]], to assist Wāḍiḥ. Together they defeated Zīrī, captured [[Fes\|Fez]] and established an Umayyad administration over all of Morocco, which lasted until the death of al-Manṣūr in 1002.{{sfn\|Makki\|1994\|p=44}}{{sfn\|Kennedy\|1996\|p=121}} Line 31: [[Category:Al-Andalus military personnel]] [[Category:Slaves from al-Andalus]] [[Category:~~Central March~~Saqaliba]] [[Category:~~Slavs~~Fitna of ~~the medieval Islamic world~~al-Andalus]] [[Category:Slave soldiers]]
