The troubles that plagued this man's reign were said to begin when he accidentally dropped his mentor's ring into a well. This man is often called "he of the two lights" due to his marriages to both Umm Kulthum and Ruqayyah. This man's general and brother, Abdullah ibn Saad, killed Gregory the Patrician, exarch of Africa, and defeated a Byzantine fleet at the Battle of the Masts, and his defeat of Yazdegerd III ended the Sassanian dynasty in Persia.
