L''''assedio di of Wasit''' vide come attori l'esercito [[khorasan]]ico creato dalla cosiddetta [[Rivoluzione abbaside]], al comando di [[al-Hasan ibn Qahtaba|al-Ḥasan b. Qaḥṭaba]] e del futuro [[Califfo]] [[al-MansurManṣūr]], e la [[guarnigione]] [[omayyade]] di [[Wasit|Wāsiṭ]], guidata dall'ultimo [[governatori omayyadi dell'Iraq|governatore omayyade dell'Iraq]], [[Yazid ibn Umar ibn Hubayra|Yazīd b. ʿumar b.

After news of the defeat of the Umayyad Caliph [[Marwan II]] at the [[Battle of the Zab]] and the Abbasid conquest of [[al-Sham|Syria]] arrived at Wasit, defections began. Yazid nevertheless held out for a few more months, until he received a pardon for himself and his followers from the Abbasid Caliph [[al-Saffah]]. Nevertheless, Yazid and his senior officers were executed soon after on al-Saffah's orders.
