The Rebellion of Sunpadh, or Sunpadh Rebellion, was a Persian Zoroastrian uprising against the Abbasid Caliphate in retaliation for the Execution of Abu Muslim al-Khurasani. The rebellion seemed clearly driven by Sunpadh’s close connection to Abu Muslim, as he was one of his companions and supporters. Sunpadh claimed to be a follower of Abu Muslim, which gave him a justification to declare his rebellion, protesting the murder of Abu Muslim. In response, Caliph al-Mansur dispatched the Abbasid commander "Jumhur ibn Marar" to suppress the revolt. Jumhur ibn Marar emerged victorious, decisively defeating Sunpadh’s followers and inflicting severe reprisals on his supporters in a major battle between Hamadan and Ray.
