Overview
In the account of al-Khayyat, when Syria was settled for Marwan ibn Muhammad, he sent Ibn Hubayra as governor of Iraq. Abd Allah ibn Umar ibn Abd al-Aziz, the governor of Kufa, made peace with al-Dahhak ibn Qays al-Shaybani, the amir of the Kharijites, on terms that al-Dahhak should have what he had seized of Kufa and its surrounding lands, and that Ibn Umar should have Wasit, Maysan, Tustar, al-Ahwaz and Fars. 1
The fighting
al-Dahhak took Mosul in Dhu al-Qa'da. Then he fought Ibn Hubayra at Ghazza for days, some of his chiefs were killed, and the Kharijites were routed. Mansur ibn Jumhur gathered the people of Kufa and fought them, and Ibn Hubayra defeated them, then came down at Kufa and expelled the Kharijites from it. 2 3
