The Shi'i–Sunni war at Wasit (406–407 AH)
فتنة الشيعة والسنة بواسط
1015 CE · 406 AH
406–407: Wasit's confessional war burned out the Shi'i and Zaydi quarters and drove their notables and Alawids into exile — they fled to Banu Mazyad begging his aid, an early sign of the Mazyadids' rise as patrons of the Alawids 1.
