Yazid ibn Mazyad
يزيد بن مزيد
Yazid ibn Mazyad; Ma'n's vanguard to Rukhkhaj — after the Kharijites killed Ma'n at Bust he slew them to a man, held Sijistan with a heavy hand until forged letters to al-Mansur brought his dismissal, imprisonment and confiscation; released, he hid in Madinat al-Salam, fought the Kharijites on the bridge, and rose under Yusuf al-Barm in Khurasan.
