Musab bin Al-Zubair administration of Iraq 67-73 AH / 686-691 AD
Abstract
He is Abu Abdullah, Musab bin Al-Zubayr bin Al-Awam bin Khuwaylid Al-Qurashi, Prince of Iraq, and his brother Abdullah Al-Basra in the year 67 AH. Mus'ab fought the army of al-Mukhtar bin Abi Ubayd al-Thaqafi in a place near Kufa and defeated him, then he headed to Kufa, where the Mukhtar was fortified and fought a fierce fight with those who remained with him until the Mukhtar was killed and his head was put in the hands of Musab. And when the Mukhtar was eliminated, he directed the governors to the provinces of Iraq, and set up Kufa to control it and restore order to it after chaos and rebellion spread to it following the various movements that launched from it, such as the Tawabin movement and others. But Abdullah bin Al-Zubair isolated Mosab from Basra, and his son Hamzah took his place, but this did not take long because Hamzah did not show ability or skill in management, so he returned his brother Mas'ba to it after a year in which Mosab was following Kufa. Musab returned to the rule of Iraq and the matter became to him in Kufa and Basra together in the name of Abdullah bin Al-Zubayr.
