Overview

Yazid ibn Tazwan, known as Habnaqa al-A'ishi, a man mentioned by al-Baladhuri in the first sermon of Sulayman ibn Abd al-Malik. Sulayman blamed him because he used to favour the fattened camels of his herds with fodder and pasture, and said that he could not repair what God had spoiled. Sulayman used to give to the people of ease and wealth, and leave aside those who lacked them, according to the report 1.

The data holds neither his year of birth nor of death, and this needs an additional source.
