Sirat Ibn Hisham 67
The rising of Sayf b. Dhī Yazan and the reign of Wahriz over Yemen
خُرُوجُ سَيْفِ بْنِ ذِي يَزَنَ وَمُلْكُ وَهْرِزَ عَلَى الْيَمَنِ [ ابْنُ ذِي يَزَنَ عِنْدَ قَيْصَرَ ] فَلَمَّا طَالَ الْبَلَاءُ عَلَى أَهْلِ الْيَمَنِ، خَرَجَ سَيْفُ بْنُ ذِي يَزَنَ الْحِمْيَرِيُّ وَكَانَ يُكَنَّى بِأَبِي مُرَّةَ، حَتَّى قَدِمَ عَلَى قَيْصَرَ مَلِكِ الرُّومِ، فَشَكَا إلَيْهِ مَا هُمْ فِيهِ، وَسَأَلَهُ أَنْ يُخْرِجَهُمْ عَنْهُ وَيَلِيَهُمْ هُوَ، وَيَبْعَثَ إلَيْهِمْ مَنْ شَاءَ مِنْ الرُّومِ، فَيَكُونُ لَهُ مُلْكُ الْيَمَنِ فَلَمْ يُشْكِهِ ( وَلَمْ يَجِدْ عِنْدَهُ شَيْئًا مِمَّا يُرِيدُ ).
Translation
✧ The departure of Sayf b. Dhī Yazan and the rule of Wahrz over Yemen [ibn Dhī Yazan at Caesar's court] When the affliction upon the people of Yemen grew prolonged, Sayf b. Dhī Yazan al-Ḥimyarī—who was known by the kunya Abū Murrah—went forth until he came to Caesar, the king of the Byzantines. He complained to him of what they were enduring, and asked him to expel the Abyssinians from Yemen and to take charge of it himself, and to send to them whomever he wished of the Byzantines, so that the kingship of Yemen would be his. But Caesar did not grant his complaint, and he found with him nothing of what he sought.
