The Ikhshidids are an Egyptian-based dynasty of Sogdian origins, whose founder, a Turkic slave soldier named Muhammad bin Tughj Al-Ikhshid, had been installed in 935 by the Abbasid Caliph, giving him and his descendants the Wilayah for thirty years.
Two years later, he obtains from the 'Abbasid caliph ar-Radi the title ikhshid (Persian: princely title in the area of Osrūshana, which he considers his land of origin), the name he gives to his dynasty, hence the last term in his name.
This title allows him to rule somewhat independently of the Caliphate.
