Battle of Maskin and the Killing of Musab ibn al-Zubayr

al-Khudari reports that when Abd al-Malik ibn Marwan wanted Iraq, Mus'ab ibn al-Zubayr made ready and placed Ibrahim ibn al-Ashtar at the head of his vanguard. The two armies met at Maskin. ¹

Many people of Iraq had corresponded with Abd al-Malik. When the battle took place, the people of Iraq were routed, and Mus'ab remained with a few loyal men until he was killed. Abd al-Malik entered Kufa. ¹

The book does not give the date of the battle, so no date is recorded here. It needs an additional source.
