Overview

Al-Walid ibn Mu'awiya ibn Abd al-Malik, who was in charge of Damascus for Marwan ibn Muhammad. Marwan wrote to him to seize Ibrahim the imam, so he took him from the mosque of the village of al-Humayma and brought him to him. Abd Allah ibn Ali then besieged him at Damascus with fifty thousand fighters, and the Yemeni-Nizari tribal zeal broke out among his companions, and he was killed. 2
