Mishna or Masna or Al-Muthanna ibn Haritha or Haris Al-Shaybani Al-Bakri was the Himyarite Jewish Abu Bakr to whom Hani ibn Qabisa pledged allegiance after the death of Hanzala. Having seen for himself the Ark of the Covenant in the possession of Heraclius, he established an alliance with the Jews of Edessa who had been unable to convince his predecessor Hanzala to assist their cause. Through his daughter, Asma bint Abi Bakr, he became the grandfather of Abdallah ibn al-Zubayir the founder of the Zubayrids.
