Muhammad ibn al-Qasim Carried Bound to Death at Wasit

حمل محمد بن القاسم مقيداً ومقتله بواسط

Wasit

Al-Walid dead, Sulayman put Salih ibn Abd al-Rahman over Iraq's kharaj and Yazid ibn Abi Kabsha al-Saksaki over Sind; Muhammad was carried bound with Mu'awiya ibn al-Muhallab, reciting 'they wasted me — and what a youth they wasted, for the day of hardship and filling the gap'. Sind wept and painted him at al-Kiraj. Salih jailed him at Wasit — 'would that I were buried in Wasit's soil, pledged to iron, bound and shackled... had I not taken rest, mares and stallions bred for war would have been ridden; the Saksakis' horse had not entered our land, no amir of Akk over me, nor I follower of the Muzuni slave' — and tortured him among the Banu Abi Aqil till he died, avenging his brother Adam the Khariji killed by al-Hajjaj. Hazza ibn Bayd al-Hanafi praised him: 'he led armies at seventeen — how near a mastery to his birth'. Yazid ibn Abi Kabsha died eighteen days after reaching Sind.
