Musa bin Nusair was not killed by Sulayman. He was not even reporting to Hajjaj. See the 'History of Islam' by Al-Zahabi.

[edit] hereditary succession
Brother Mohammad, You say: "The second link speaks of disagreement on hereditary succession, it doesn't outright say no" That is not right. In fact, Ibn Hazm stated a mutual agreement that Khilafa cannot be transmitted through hereditary succession. He said: ولا خلاف بين أحد من أهل الإسلام في أنه لا يجوز التوارث فيها --Islamic 00:41, 24 July 2006 (UTC)
- Yes, I'm probably wrong, my Arabic is rather poor and classes won't start till September so I have to work pretty much alone on it. But regarding this, it says that hereditary succession is forbidden, but appointment is not (Abu Bakr(ra) appointed Umar(ra)). So what's the ruling on appointing a family member? Hazrat Ali (ra) appointed Hasan, his own son, and he was accepted by Muslims as a correctly appointed caliph for the short time he was considered as such. --xx-Mohammad Mufti-xx 00:54, 24 July 2006 (UTC)

- As for Arabic, you can use google translation, although it is still beta... "hereditary succession" means appointing a family member. In most Sunni sources (and early Shia sources), Ali did not appoint his son, but rather, Hasan was elected by people of Kufa. --Islamic 02:52, 30 July 2006 (UTC)
