Al-Khayzuran bint Atta (died 789) was the wife of Caliph al-Mahdi and the mother to caliphs al-Hadi and Harun al-Rashid.
Originally an enslaved Yemeni concubine,[1] al-Khayzuran convinced al-Mahdi to free her upon his ascension to the throne,[2] being elevated to the status of a legal wife. She is known for her immense influence on state affairs, acting as the de facto ruler upon her husband's death,[1] and maintaining her influence during the reign of her sons.[2]
