It is true that the Umayyads expanded into Spain.

Explanation:

The Umayyads formed a dynasty that ruled the Arab Empire from 661 to 750. The Umayyads were originally an important clan from Mecca and became the most important clan within the Islamic world. In total, fourteen members of the clan ruled over the Islamic world at that time. After the Umayyads were defeated by the Abbasids in 750, the fled prince Abd al-Rahman I continued the dynasty in Spain until 1027.

The Arab Empire expanded enormously under the Umayyad dynasty. The New Persian Empire of the Sassanids (present-day Iran) was conquered in its entirety, as were the southern provinces of the Byzantine Empire up to Spain.
