This paper examines ties of dependency in the Umayyad and early Abbasid period though the evidence from al-Balāḏurī’s Futūḥ al-Buldān. It argues (contra Cahen) that ilǧāʾ arrangements were often based on mutual self-interest rather than the needs of an oppressive elite. The variety of the arrangements explored in this paper gives an interesting insight into the different sorts of triangular relationships between the state (sulṭān), the powerful and the farmers
