Buuxi weedha soo socota: Inta badan qabiilooyinka Carabta ee bartamaha iyo koonfurta Siiriya waxay daacad u ahaayeen Umayyada waxayna doorteen Marwan ibn al-Hakam oo aan Sufiyiin ahayn oo ka yimid Madiina si uu ugu guuleysto Mu'awiya II. Magacaabista Marwan ee khaliifka Dimishiq waxay calaamad u ahayd isbadal ka dhan ah Ibn al-Zubayr. Taageerayaasha Marwan, oo uu hoggaaminayay Ubayd Allah ibn Ziyad, waxay si go'an u jabiyeen qabiilooyinkii Qaysi ee taageersanaa Zubayrid, oo uu hoggaaminayay al-Dahhak ibn Qays al-Fihri,
Dagaalkii Marj Rahit bishii Luulyo 684. Qabiilkii Qaysi ee badbaaday waxay u carareen Jazira (Meesopotamiya Sare) oo uu hoggaaminayay Zufar ibn al-Harith al-Kilabi, oo sii waday aqoonsigiisa xukunka Ibn al-Zubayr. Si kastaba ha noqotee, bishii Maarso 685, Ibn al-Zubayr wuxuu lumiyay gobolkii muhiimka ahaa ee dhaqaalaha Masar ee Marwan.
