Overview
This entry covers the oath of allegiance to Yazid ibn al-Walid, known as al-Naqis (the Deficient), in 126 AH. 1
What the sources say
al-Tabari, in the events of the year, mentions the unrest of the affairs of the Marwanids after the killing of al-Walid ibn Yazid, and the disagreement of the people of Homs. He reports that Marwan ibn Muhammad gave Yazid ibn al-Walid the title al-Naqis. 1
The heading of the oath is mentioned in al-Tabari's index, but the details of its course are not yet in the museum's data, and the report needs an additional source. 2
