    He was an excellent general (in terms of tactics, I put him at number 2 after Hannibal in another thread), but he was also more sanguine as compared to his contemporaries (meaning Arab generals, as the Sassinid and Byzantine armies were much more fond of atrocities then Arabs at the time). He was removed from his position by a Caliph, perhaps because of this.
