Placed in AD 750 by a source

Each record sits in this year because its source places it here, or because a conversion of the source’s date, stated on the record, does. That is a placement, not a settled date, and not a complete account of the year. “No region assigned” means the collection has not fixed where the act took place. How to read a record

Marwan ibn Muhammad is killed at Busir

Al-Tabari reports that Marwan ibn Muhammad was killed at Busir in Egypt in Dhu al-Hijja 132 AH.

Limits: Wikisource revision 112405. Accounts at 4003 and 4011–4015 differ over the encounter and killer. Line 4023 dates his death to Sunday, three nights remaining in Dhu al-Hijja; line 4015 also attaches that dating formula to dispatch of his head. Only the shared month and year are retained.
