Life
Bakkar, also known as Abu Bakr, was the son of the Umayyad caliph Abd al-Malik ((r. 685 – 705)) and his wife A'isha bint Musa, a granddaughter of Talha, a prominent companion of Muhammad. Bakkar was married to a former wife of his half-brother Caliph al-Walid I ((r. 705 – 715)), Izza bint Abd al-Aziz ibn Abdallah ibn Amr, a great-great-granddaughter of Caliph Uthman ((r. 644 – 656)). Bakkar and his half-brothers Sa'id al-Khayr and Muhammad were among those of the Umayyad family gathered by their cousin, Caliph Marwan II ((r. 744 – 750)), at Dayr Ayyub to give oaths of allegiance to Marwan's sons Ubaydallah and Abdallah as heirs apparent. He was among the Umayyads who were executed by the Abbasids at Nahr Abi Futrus in 750, after the dynasty was toppled.
