Umayyad dynasty
The Umayyads have been the subject of many tales, both factual and fictitious. Umayyad Caliphs are referenced throughout the Arabic collection of 101 Nights (Arabic: مائة ليلة وليلة), also known as The Book with the Story of the 101 Nights, and Caliph Abd al-Malik ibn Marwan and his three sons enjoy a similar status in the 101 Nights as that of the Abbasid ruler Harun al-Rashid in the 1,001 Nights.
