وفاة يزيد الناقص

Yazid al-Naqis did not long enjoy the caliphate — he died the same year, on 7 Dhu'l-Hijja 126, his caliphate having lasted six months less a fraction, aged thirty-five or forty-six; some say he died of the plague. He was dubbed al-Naqis for cutting the troops' stipends {cite:tarikh-khulafa-minhaj-1434 p. 408-409}.
