Muhammad ibn Abi Hudhayfa (Arabic: محمد بن أبي حذيفة ) was the son of Abu Hudhayfa ibn ‘Utba. In 656, he became the Governor of Egypt by ousting Abdallah ibn Sa’ad. He was born in Abyssinia during Muhammad’s life. His father was killed in al-Yamama, after which he was raised by ‘Uthman ibn ‘Affan. He played part in the revolt against ‘Uthman when the latter refused to appoint him as ruler for any province.
