Banu Thaqif
Mus'ab then made a charge, but was wounded by an arrow and dislodged from his horse. He was slain by a certain Za'ida ibn Qudama, a soldier from the Banu Thaqif who declared Mus'ab's death to be vengeance for his fellow tribesman Mukhtar. Afterward, Ibn Zabyan decapitated Mus'ab's body. Abd al-Malik mourned Mus'ab and "ordered his poets to commemorate his heroic end", according to Lammens.
