Hajjāj was beyond the reach of mortal vengeance, for he had died before Walīd, but the new Caliph’s hand fell heavily on his family and adherents. Yazīd, son of Abu Kabshah, was appointed governor of Sind and Muhammad was sent a prisoner to Mesopotamia, where he was imprisoned at Wāsit by Sālih. He could not have fallen into worse hands, for Ādam, Sālih’s brother, had been one of the numerous Khāriji heretics put to death by the bigoted and brutal Hajjāj. His murder was now expiated by the gallant young conqueror of Sind and his relations, who were tortured to death by Sālih’s orders. - [Previous: v3.c19.24](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.haig-1928.v3.c19.24) - [Next: v3.c19.26](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.haig-1928.v3.c19.26) - [Up: v3.c19](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.haig-1928.v3.c19) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.haig-1928.v3.c19.25](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.haig-1928.v3.c19.25) · Pramāṇa
