Azad Peroz, known in Arabic sources as Azad Firuz, was an Sasanian Persian who was the governor of Bahrain during the reign of Khosrau II (590-628). The Arabs gave him the nickname Mukabir (the mutilating), because he cut the hands and feet of other people. He was the son of a man named Gushnasp. During the rise of Islam, he converted to Islam and later died during the reign of Caliph Umar.
