Muaviyeh
Imam Sadiq a.s. says:
«انا و آل ابى سفیان اهل بیتین تعادینا فى اللّه: قلنا صدق اللّه وقالوا کذب اللّه: قاتل ابوسفیان رسول اللّه(صلى الله علیه وآله وسلم) و قاتل معاویة على بن ابى طالب(علیه السلام) و قاتل یزید بن معاویة الحسین بن على(علیه السلام) و السّفیانى یقاتل القائم(3)
I and Aal Abi Sfyan (descendant of Abi Sfyan) are two Ahl bayt (household/group) that are enemies of each other about Allah. we said Allah said truth but they said Allah said lie. Abi Sfyan fought prophet SAWW and Muaviyeh fought Ali ibn Abi Talib A.S. and Yazid fought Hussain ibn Ali a.s. and Sufyani will fight Mahdi A.S.

What else can I help you with?
How did the Umayyad dynasty begin?
The Umayyad dynasty began after the death of the fourth caliph, Ali, in 661 CE, marking the end of the Rashidun Caliphate. Muawiya ibn Abi Sufyan, the governor of Syria and a relative of Uthman, the third caliph, established the Umayyad dynasty by becoming the first Umayyad caliph. His rule centralized power in Damascus and expanded the Islamic empire significantly, setting the stage for a new era in Islamic history characterized by territorial expansion and administrative consolidation. The dynasty lasted until 750 CE, when it was overthrown by the Abbasids.

Who were the umayyad clan?
Answer 1That was Muhammed.The Caliph Tribe Continued to discover more informationon the umayyad's.Answer 2There is much debate on who started the Umayyad dynasty. Most scholars attribute it to Mu'awiya I, the Muslim Governor of Damascus in 650 C.E. since he was the first to rule as Caliph and claim that his family had the right to rule the Caliphate. (This was opposed to the previously-used system of elections by leading officials.) In accordance with his claim, his son Yazid I succeeded him.The reason Mu'awiya's place as the beginning of the Umayyad Dynasty is twofold. Firstly, the Rightly-Guided Caliph, 'Othman, was part of the Banu Umayya (the family of the Umayyads). This makes Mu'awiya the second Umayyad to be Caliph. Secondly, in order to claim legitimacy, Mu'awiya alleged the Mohammed had chosen his family to be the stewards of the Caliphate, citing several sources. This claim is a minority position today and was contested at the time as well (which is one of the main causes of the Fitna Al-Kubra - the first Islamic Civil War).

Did the umayyads the established a caliphate in Spain?
Yes and No. The First Ummayyad Caliphate (661-750 C.E.) had been established in Damascus and expanded all the way from Spain to Northwestern India. However, an uprising by the Abbassids led to the fall of this Caliphate and the rising of the Abbassid Caliphate in its place. The Abbassids had killed the last Damascus Caliph, Marwan II, and slaughtered every member of the Umayyad family they could find. One final Umayyad prince, Abd el-Rahman I, escaped and established an emirate in Spain separate from the Abbassids and made Cordoba his capital-in-exile. He then withstood attempts by the Abbassids for control of Spain. By 929 C.E. the Abbassid Caliphate was weakening substantially, so the current Ummayad Emir declared that the Umayyad Emirate of Andalucia (Southern Spain) would become the Second Umayyad Caliphate. This lasted until 1038 C.E., when the last Umayyad caliph died heirless. During the 300 or so years (750 C.E.-1038 C.E.) of the Umayyad Emirate/Caliphate in Spain, the state was constantly fending off Spanish Reconquista Knights.
