(720-721) Maslama ibn Abd al-Malik and al-Abbas ibn al-Walid led forces against him. On August 25, Maslama's troops advanced to battle, frightening some of Yazid's men who fled. Yazid had these beheaded. He then rode directly at Maslama. Maslama's cavalry intercepted him and cut him down. Fighting continued. In Wasit, Yazid's son Mu'awiya on news of his father's death executed some prisoners, including Adi ibn Artat, the Basran governor who had sent Yazid to Umar in A.H. 99. Mu'awiya and other surviving members of the Yazid's family sailed to Bahrayn, then near Kirman. They advanced to Qandabil where they were denied entrance. There was a glorious fight in which all but two died, those two making their way to Zabulistan. Some captured boys were sent to Yazid II who beheaded them.
