  "en": "When death came upon Sulayman ibn Abd al-Malik at Marj Dabiq, he summoned Raja' ibn Haywa, Muhammad ibn Shihab al-Zuhri, Makhul and other scholars of his army. They wrote his will and he had them bear witness to it, instructing that when he died they should proclaim that the people must assemble for prayer, and then read the letter to them {cite:bakr-umayyad-state-1134715 p. 261-262}. When his burial was finished, the proclamation was made; al-Zuhri stood and asked the people, 'Are you content with the one whom the Commander of the Faithful named in his will?' He then read the letter, which named Umar ibn Abd al-Aziz, and after him Yazid ibn Abd al-Malik {cite:bakr-umayyad-state-1134715 p. 262}. Umar was among the last of the people; when his name was called he said the formula of return (istirja'), and he was taken by the hand until he climbed the pulpit. Yazid ibn Abd al-Malik was the first to pledge allegiance, the people pledged after him, and Sa'id and Hisham pledged two days later {cite:bakr-umayyad-state-1134715 p. 262}. The book states that this was ten days before the end of Safar 99 AH, the day of Sulayman's death {cite:bakr-umayyad-state-1134715 p. 261}."
