The Alavids (سلسله علویان طبرستان in Persian) were a Shia emirate based in Tabaristan of Iran. They were decendants of the second shi'a imam ( imam hassan ) and brought islam to the south Caspian sea region of Iran. Their reign was ended when they were defeated by the Samanid empire in 928 AD. After their defeat some of the soldiers and generals of the Alavids joined the Samanids dynasty. Mardavij the son of Ziar was one of the generals that joined the Samanids. He later founded the Ziyarid dynasty. Ali, Hassan and Ahmad the sons of Buye [bu:je] (that were founders of the Buye dynasty) were also among generals of the Alavid dynasty who joined the Samanid army.
