Overview
Ziyad al-Qasir al-Khuza'i, killed by Yazid ibn Huzayl, who had been sent by Musa ibn Abd Allah ibn Khazim. It is reported that he struck him on the head with a sword when he sought an opening, and he lived seven days and then died 1.
The data's summary is confused about who struck whom and who died, and the entry needs an additional source.
