Everything about Qutaibah Bin Muslim totally explained
Qutaibah bin Muslim (d.
715) was an
Arab Muslim general who lived during the late 7th/early 8th century. He served under the
Ummayad caliphs, and made his greatest gains during the reign of
al-Walid I. He was originally the governor of
Khorasan. Eventually he was sent on an expedition to
Transoxiana and in the process was responsible for conquering almost all of
Soghdiana including the important cities of
Bukhara and
Samarkand. He also reached the frontiers of
China and apparently he acquired
paper from the Chinese bringing it to Arab civilization.
Despite his victories, he was jailed and executed after the death of Al-Walid I, by the new caliph,
Suleiman. The reasoning behind this was political and likely because Suleiman saw Qutaibah as a threat or he felt that Qutaibah was among those who had tried to stop al-Walid from appointing Suleiman the next caliph. Others have speculated that it was due to Qutaibah's good relationship with
Al-Hajjaj bin Yousef.
