Frequent pro-Umayyad uprisings receive Palestinian support.

Abu Sarb, a Yemenite, in 840 and 841 unfurls the white banner of the Umayyads and succeeds in recruiting a large number of peasant followers, mainly among the Palestinian population, who regard him as the savior whose appearance is to save the land from the hated 'Abbasids.

The insurrection is put down but unrest persists.
