Dismissal and return
The book describes him as tyrannical and oppressive, cutting off hands in punishments without the conditions for amputation being met. Umar ibn Abd al-Aziz dismissed him and ordered him imprisoned, one year in Egypt and one year in Palestine. Then Yazid ibn Abd al-Malik restored him to his office after Umar's death 1.
The book also mentions him among the governors whose financial authority was separated from their administrative authority 2.
