Richard Francis Burton translation · Edition 2
Tenth Ommiade A.H. 105–125 (= 724–743), a wise and discreet ruler with an inclination to avarice and asceticism. According to some, the Ommiades produced only three statesmen, Mu’awiyah, Abd al-Malik and Hisham; and the reign of the latter was the end of sage government and wise administration.
