Sahl Smbatean (Armenian: Սահլ Սմբատյան), also known as Sahl ibn Sumbat in Arab sources, was an Armenian prince of Shaki, during the 9th century A.D.[1][2][3]. After the fall of the Mihranid dynasty in 822, Sahl ruled a significant part of Caucasian Albania. Sahl initially provided refuge to Babak Khorramdin and fought with him against the Islamic conquest of Persia. However, later he assisted Afshin, the prominent general[4] of the Abbasid Caliph al-Mutasim, in capturing Babak Khorramdin. In 854, Sahl was captured and imprisoned by Bugha al-Kabir al-Sharabi, the Turkish commander of the Abbasid Caliph al-Mutawakkil.[5]
