[Machine] To invalidate any rulings made by Abdullah ibn Zubayr and that Aban ibn Uthman wrote to Abd al-Malik regarding this matter. Abd al-Malik replied to him stating that we did not take revenge on Ibn Zubayr for the rulings he made, rather we took revenge on him for his aspirations for leadership. So, when you receive my letter, carry out what Ibn Zubayr ruled and do not reject it, for our invalidation of rulings is a serious matter.  

أَنْ يَنْقُضَ مَا كَانَ عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ الزُّبَيْرِ قَضَى فِيهِ فَكَتَبَ أَبَانُ بْنُ عُثْمَانَ فِي ذَلِكَ إِلَى عَبْدِ الْمَلِكِ فَكَتَبَ إِلَيْهِ عَبْدُ الْمَلِكِ إِنَّا لَمْ نَنْقِمْ عَلَى ابْنِ الزُّبَيْرِ مَا كَانَ يَقْضِي بِهِ وَلَكِنْ نَقَمْنَا عَلَيْهِ مَا كَانَ أَرَادَ مِنَ الْإِمَارَةِ فَإِذَا جَاءَكَ كِتَابِي هَذَا فَأَمْضِ مَا كَانَ قَضَى بِهِ ابْنُ الزُّبَيْرِ وَلَا تَرُدَّهُ فَإِنَّ نَقَضْنَا الْقَضَاءَ عَنَاءٌ مُعَنًّى
