Talk:Al-Hajjaj ibn Yusuf

message: I am sorry but why this article is related to Afghanistan? hajjaj did not belong to Afghanistan, the main article doesn't even mention Afghanistan. Surely this is a mistake. Kindly rectify it ASAP. Other wise it is ridiculous for wikipedia.org. 202.142.190.245 (talk) 12:59, 18 April 2008 (UTC)

Doesn't hajjaj mean something like 'pilgrim'? Isn't it from the same root as hajj, hajji, and muhajir? In any case, I seriously doubt it means "the Bone Crusher". —Charles P. (Mirv) 17:39, 23 September 2005 (UTC)

text: I tend to agree with you, Charles. I think the meaning should be related to the words "hajjun" or "hijjun" = hajj pilgrimage, and "hujjatun" = reason, prove, argument. XoXo (talk) 10:18, 14 September 2011 (UTC)

message: Someone please be kind enough to review this article and its awful composition. Also, why does there need to be a shia view of this guy? Every other middle east article seems to have a 'shia view' on it. Let the facts stand for themselves and mention different perspectives without giving them their own labels like so-and-so's views. I've never seen an encyclopedia approach an article like that. It's one thing to describe how different parts of the world perceived a figure/event but to list every minority groups' take on it is rather trivial.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.80.230.168 (talk) 07:02, 9 March 2008 (UTC)

message: This Hajjaj did not translate Euclid, the translator was another Hajjaj who lived one hundred years later in Baghdad under the Abbasid Caliphate and had no involvement in military affairs.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.242.252.54 (talk) 13:05, 11 September 2009 (UTC)

message: "Along his rule al-Hajjaj killed one hundred and twenty thousand men and thirty thousand women" I doubt that there existed such many thousand people in Iraq at that days, i think it is exaggeration.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Torebay (talk • contribs) 23:34, 24 January 2010 (UTC)

message: Since this is a notable example of a clear dhalim in Islamic history it tends to be brought up in discussions relating to madkhalism. I don't have any deeper analysis to offer but it might be worth exploring further. FAISSALOO(talk) 19:19, 16 January 2021 (UTC)

message: Not an authority on the subject but found it rather suspicious that an event as important as the Siege of Mecca and the Kaaba being assaulted by Catapults is missing from this article. A cursory Google search reveals this incident which occured during the Second Fitna. Also, what was this guy's relationship with Muhammad bin Qasim? 103.163.200.185 (talk) 21:58, 20 January 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: The siege of Mecca is found in the section "Origin and early life and career", specifically the 4th and 5th passages. He was a paternal kinsman, patron and the superior commander of Muhammad ibn Qasim. Some of this could be found in the "Campaigns of expansion" section in this article; more detail is found in the "Origins and early life" section of the Muhammad ibn Qasim article.
