Overview

Mukram ibn al-Farz of the Banu Jamuna ibn al-Harith ibn Tamim. Al-Baladhuri says that al-Hajjaj sent him against Kharzad ibn Bas when he rebelled, joined Ayadhaj and took refuge in a fortress. When the siege dragged on, Kharzad came down in disguise to join Abd al-Malik, and Mukram caught him with two pearls in his cap. He sent him to al-Hajjaj, who had his neck struck. In one report, "the army of Mukram" is attributed to him. 1
