Victory went to Marwan. {cite:umayyad-birth-to-fall-2006 p. 30}\n\nThe book holds that it was the beginning of the Umayyads' recovery of a state that had been very close to collapse. {cite:umayyad-birth-to-fall-2006 p. 30}\n\nThe army of Ibn al-Zubayr in Syria was led by [[person/al-dahhak-ibn-qays-al-fihri|al-Dahhak ibn Qays al-Fihri]]. {cite:bakr-umayyad-state-1134715}\n\nThe book gives the date in the Hijri calendar, and it has not been converted here."
