Overview
In 125 AH Yahya ibn Zayd was killed in Khurasan. 1
Al-Tabari says that Nasr ibn Sayyar wrote to al-Hasan ibn Zayd al-Tamimi, who was at Tus, to look into Yahya's affair, and if Yahya passed by them, not to let him stay. 2
What is not covered here: the place of the fighting and its details. This needs an additional source.
