I am utterly confused by the passage "The result was an utter debacle for the Romans at the Battle of Tabuk." Waqidi mentions Tabouk as where Yazid's ambush took place. It could be that this is the Battle of Tabouk, which also turned out into a loss for the Byzantines. However, then we've got Holland saying that the ambush took place "12 miles east of Gaza", which is not even near Tabouk. What is also odd, is Waqidi describing Abu Bakr as "Khalifah of Rasulullah" (p. 12), so the ambush should have taken place after Muhammad, while we know that the Battle of Tabouk took place during Muhammad's lifetime. Were there two Battles of Tabouk? - HyperGaruda ( talk) 10:45, 31 January 2016 (UTC)
@ Al Ameer son: In the article, it is stated that "Umar appointed Mu'awiya in his brother's place over Damascus and Jordan." Does the source not mention who is the governor of Palestine who will replace Yazid?
And does the source not mention the location of Yazid's death and his grave? Iylaq ( talk) 12:59, 22 June 2022 (UTC)
@ Al Ameer son: So, there is no certainty in the sources about the governor of Palestine after Yazid died? Iylaq ( talk) 05:41, 26 June 2022 (UTC)
