… [Ryosho Hayashi]
[Islamic World]
A group of chivalrous ruffians active in the cities of the Islamic world from the 9th century onwards. They are also called 'ayyār, fityan, shuttar or aḥdāth. In Iraq and Iran from the mid-Abbasid period onwards, groups of ayyar appeared among the urban populace, who joined the auxiliary forces of the caliph or attacked the houses of wealthy merchants and high-ranking officials. In the 10th century and the first half of the 11th century, when the power of the dynasty weakened, they established a certain degree of self-governing organisation, took charge of festivals and tried to defend their towns against outside forces.
