Abstract	:	Bihāfarīd b. Farwardīn (d. c131/748 or 749), also written Bihʾāfrīd and other variants, was the leader of a heterodox Zoroastrian socio-religious movement in Khurāsān in the later period of the Umayyad rule (c. 129/747), around the time of the ʿAbbāsid revolution (mid-second/eighth century), and was executed by Abū Muslim (leader of the ʿAbbāsid revolution, killed in 137/755). Although Bihāfarīd is rarely mentioned in conventional historical sources (accounts by al-Azdī, Gardīzī, and al-Thaʿālibī being notable exceptions), there is a fair amount of information
