Then the year 144 AH began
كَانَ عَلَى مَكَّةَ هَذِهِ السَّنَةَ السَّرِيُّ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ، وَعَلَى الْمَدِينَةِ رِيَاحُ بْنُ عُثْمَانَ ، وَعَلَى الْكُوفَةِ عِيسَى بْنُ مُوسَى ، وَعَلَى الْبَصْرَةِ سُفْيَانُ بْنُ مُعَاوِيَةَ ، وَعَلَى مِصْرَ يَزِيدُ بْنُ حَاتِمِ بْنِ قُتَيْبَةَ بْنِ الْمُهَلَّبِ بْنِ أَبِي صُفْرَةَ ، وَهُوَ الَّذِي قَالَ فِيهِ يَزِيدُ بْنُ ثَابِتٍ يَمْدَحُهُ وَيَهْجُو يَزِيدَ بْنَ أُسَيْدٍ السُّلَمِيَّ: لَشَتَّانَ مَا بَيْنَ الْيَزِيدَيْنِ فِي النَّدَى يَزِيدَ سُلَيْمٍ وَالْأَغَرِّ بْنِ حَاتِمِ فِي أَبْيَاتٍ كَثِيرَةٍ. وَكَانَ مُمَدَّحًا جَوَادًا.

Qutaybah b. al-Muhallab b. Abī Ṣufrah. He is the one about whom Yazīd b. Thābit said, praising him and satirizing Yazīd b. Usayd al-Sulamī: How different are the two Yazīds in generosity — Yazīd of Sulaym and the noble one, son of Ḥātim — in many verses. He was praised and generous.
