, where it was buried in al-Baqiʿ beside his mother (1).

ʿAbd al-Ṣamad ibn Saʿīd the judge said: Sulaymān ibn ʿAbd al-Ḥamīd al-Bahraʾī narrated to us; I heard Abū Umayyah al-Kalaʿī say:

I heard Abū Karib declare: “I was among those who stormed al-Walīd ibn Yazīd in Damascus. I seized a casket and said, ‘My share of the spoils is inside it.’ Mounting my horse, I rode out with it through Bāb Tūmā.
