 السيرة

تاريخ الطبري يذكر ابن بانوا مرة واحدة فقط. He appears to have been a military commander who was posted to al-Bahrain in an attempt لطرد القرامطة بقيادة أبو سعيد الجنابي there. He is recorded as having sent a message to the central government in Baghdad, describing how he had launched a surprise attack on a Qarmatian stronghold and successfully overwhelmed its defenders. In October 903 another message was received from him, stating that he had attacked القطيف. His troops routed the Qarmatians and killed their commander, who was identified as Abu Sa'id's designated successor. They then prevailed against al-Qatif and entered it.

Ibn Banu is not subsequently mentioned, but the Abbasid reconquest of al-Qatif was short-lived, as the Qarmatians were soon back in control of the oasis.
