Life
Waki played a leading command role in the Muslim conquest of Bukhara in the army of Qutayba ibn Muslim during the reign of Caliph al-Walid I. He served as the commander of the Tamimi troops of the Arab army in Khurasan, whose ranks consisted of the tribal factions from the Basra garrison, i.e. the Tamim, Bakr, Ahl al-Aliya and Azd. When Qutayba declared a revolt against al-Walids successor Caliph Sulayman ibn Abd al-Malik|Sulayman]] in 716, his troops mutinied against him. The troops factional chiefs chose Waki to lead the mutiny as the consensus candidate. Waki resented Qutayba for replacing him with Dirar ibn Husayn al-Dabbi as leader of the Tamimi troops of Khurasan and accepted the role.
