Sulayman ibn Hisham

Sulayman ibn Hisham ibn Abd al-Malik, an Umayyad, mentioned by al-Mas'udi in Muruj al-Dhahab ².

His drinking companion al-Ala' ibn Bint Dhi al-Kala' relates that, in the last days of Yazid al-Naqis, when the two were drinking beside the Rasafa of his father, he dreamed that he was in the mosque of Damascus, and a man with a dagger in his hand and a crown on his head recited verses about the approach of the scattering of the Banu Umayya and the end of their rule. Sulayman said to him that what time brings is near. They never met over wine after that, and in the year 132 AH came what came of the affair of the Black-Clad ².

al-Mas'udi reports that he got in touch with the Kharijites in al-Jazira out of fear of Marwan ³.
