In al-Baladhuri: when Yazid ibn Abd al-Malik ruled he gave Yazid ibn Abi Muslim — al-Hajjaj ibn Yusuf's mawla — Ifriqiya and the Maghreb; he came to Ifriqiya in year 102, his guard being Berbers, and he branded on each man's hand 'my guard' — so they blackened his path, whispered one to another, and conspired to kill him: he went out one evening for maghrib prayer and they killed him in his prayer-place. Yazid then gave it to Bishr ibn Safwan al-Kalbi, who struck off the neck of Abdallah ibn Musa ibn Nusayr — he being accused of the killing and of stirring the people against him.
