The Umayyads were still in Spain after the Great Zab Revolt, fyi.
"During the rule of the Caliph in the 7th century AD, the earliest known examples of pension and welfare were adopted. The elderly and disabled, as well as widows and orphans, were all eligible to receive assistance and income from the government treasury."
Can someone give the reference to this? I want to add it to the Wikipedia entry on Welfare.
