Overview
After al-Harra
al-Mas'udi reports that he climbed the pulpit of the Messenger of God in Medina when its people shouted at the army and recalled their dead at al-Harra. He said that they called the people of Medina to obey Yazid, and that they fought them for obedience to him 2.
Abd al-Malik's succession
al-Sallabi reports that he supported the idea of removing Abd al-Aziz ibn Marwan from the succession, and advised Qabisa ibn Dhu'ayb otherwise. Then Abd al-Aziz died before the matter was carried out 3.
