Legend has it that they rolled the caliph in a rug and had horses trample him to death, and that the Tigris River ran black from the ink of the manuscripts that were thrown into it.
La leyenda dice que enrollaron al califa en una alfombra y caballos lo pisotearon hasta la muerte, y que el río Tigris era negro por la tinta de los manuscritos que habían sido arrojados allí.
