Meaning and definition of buwayhids :
A Shi'i dynasty established by mercenary soldiers from the Caspian region of Daylum who ruled Iran and Iraq from the mid-tenth to the mid-eleventh century A.D. As Dailamites, they lived in mountainous areas north of Qazvin, and like Turks they were popular mercenaries. Up until the ninth century they managed to repel more than a dozen Muslim attacks, and as many 'Alids sought refuge in their mountains they were gradually converted into Shi‘i Islam. During the early years of the tenth century Ali ibn Buyah (Imad al-Dawla), the founder of the dynasty, began his career in the military, employed in the court of the Samanid prince Nasr ibn Ahmad and was appointed as the governor of Ray. Although they were able to wrest their territories from the 'Abassids and were essentially an independent seat of authority, they still maintained recognition of a puppet 'Abassid Caliph, ruling in his name. The Buwayhids created courts in Isfahan, Shiraz and Baghdad. They were the first to establish the use of revenue grants, iqta', to pay the soldiers, a system that was built upon and used extensively by the Seljuks.
