When al-Hajjaj ruled [[Hijaz]] for two (or three) years, 'Abd al-Malik b. Marwan removed him from the position and, in [[Rajab]] or [[Ramadan]], [[75]]/November, 694 or January 695), appointed him as the ruler of [[Iraq]] and gave him full authority. Thus [[Imam 'Ali]]'s (a) well-known prediction (in an oration addressed to people of [[Kufa]]) of a cruel man from the [[Thaqif tribe]] dominating Iraq was realized. | When al-Hajjaj ruled [[Hijaz]] for two (or three) years, 'Abd al-Malik b.

When he was appointed as the ruler of Iraq, he hasted to arrive there. He arrived in Kufa with only 12 cavalries. On Friday, he went to the mosque with a covered face, and in a well-known oration, he threatened people who had escaped the army of [[Muhallab b. Abi Sufra]] —the commander of [[Bushr b. Marwan]]'s army— to fight with [[Haruriyya Khawarij]] that he would kill them unless they join him within three days. After dominating Kufa, al-Hajjaj went to [[Basra]] and delivered a threatening speech, like his speech in Kufa, and he then went to Rustaqubadh to reinforce Muhallab in his fight with Khawarij. | When he was appointed as the ruler of Iraq, he hasted to arrive there.
