I found no happiness in its sweetness, so how should I find despair in its bitterness? e. 126 Thus, Mu≤Æwiyah II left the field wide open for the collision between the three principles which found those who would epitomise them: Ibn Zubayr represented the Islamic principle; MarwÆn bin al-√akam – the tribal principle; and KhÆlid bin Yaz∞d – the principle of inheritance.
