When al-Hajjaj arrived in Rustaqubadh, he encountered the first riot of Iraqi people under the leadership of [['Abd Allah b. Jarud]]. The riot was caused by al-Hajjaj's insistence that people should resist in battlefields until they win and his decision to reduce the soldier's wages to 100 [[dirham]]s. In this riot, which occurred in [[Rabi' II]], [[76]]/August 695, Iraqi people plundered al-Hajjaj's property and his armaments. After consultations with his companions and upon the arrival of backup forces, al-Hajjaj fought with them and killed ibn Jarud. | When al-Hajjaj arrived in Rustaqubadh, he encountered the first riot of Iraqi people under the leadership of [['Abd Allah b.
