Al Hajjaj
This biography of Al Hajjaj Bin Youssef Al Thaqafi looks back on his cruelty, his clemency and his loyalty, and paints the portrait of a controversial regent.


Caliph Abdul Malik sends Al-Hajjaj to Zafar bin Al-Harith to make peace, bribing him with money in preparation for the Caliph to leave with his army to Iraq. Al-Shaibani returns to the Ahwaz without a fight after the people of Basra betray the support of their leader.
