سليمان بن مرثد

سليمان بن مرثد

Sulayman ibn Marthad of Banu Sa'd of the Mura'id of Rabi'a; he contested Salm's covenant for Ibn Khazim, accepted Ibn al-Zubayr's arbitration, then refused the award — 'Ibn al-Zubayr is no caliph, only a man sheltering at the House' — and fell with fifteen thousand against six thousand to Qays ibn Asim (may God be pleased with him)'s sword, his cry 'ya nasr iqtarib', his head taken.
