Dear Brother,

In order to understand why he was executed, one needs to have an insight into the Islamic History. As far as my memory serves me, the reason lies in the animosity between His uncle and Father-in-law Hujjaj bin Yusaf and the later Caliph Sulayman (who had Muhammad Bin Qasim executed).

Hujjaj was very close to Khalifa Walid (during whose reign Muhammad Bin Qasim attacked) and was trusted by him. Probably Hujjaj had sided Walid, against Sulayman, and therefore Sulayman always had a grudge against Hujjaj (if i may recall correctly).

However when both Hujjaj and Khalifa Walid died, Sulayman called Muhammad Bin Qasim back to Baghdad and had him executed.

The death of Muhammad Bin Qasim sounds like a folk legend or a tale out of the 1001 Arabian Nights. There are several versions to it and they all are equally disputable.

One such version says, that Muhammad Bin Qasim had captured two daughters of Raja Dahir whom he sent as gifts to Sulayman (as was customary in those times). When the girls reached Sulayman, they told him that Muhammad Bin Qasim had de-flowered them before sending them to Sulayman. This was an obvious insult to the Khalifa, whom promptly called Muhammad Bin Qasim back to Baghdad and had him executed. The legend goes on to say that once Muhammad Bin Qasim was dead, the girl admitted to the fact that they had fabricated the story to avenge their father's death. Upon hearing this Sulayman was so furious that he had them tied to the tails of horses and they were dragged on the ground till the time they both were dead.

Personally speaking, i believe that Sulayman did it more out of Political necessity and his foolishness than anything quoted above. Out of three famous Muslim generals, Tariq Bin Ziyad (called back by Al-Walid and badly treated by Sulayman, whom died in the streets of Damascus begging for food near his end), Muhammad Bin Qasim (killed while in prison) and Qutaiba(he captured Kashghar ), all of them were killed brutally.
So more or less Sulayman was against all the generals and their associates who had been handpicked by his brother Al Walid

Walid and Suleman were real brothers. Their father, Abdul Malik, had said in his will that Walid should be Caliph after him and Suleman should succeed Walid. On becoming Caliph, Walid tried to set aside the father's will. He wanted his own son, rather than his brother, to succeed him. Hajjaj was Walid's right-hand man. He encouraged the Caliph in this plan. However, the plan fell through because of Hajjaj's sudden death.

Suleman's action did much harm to the cause of Islam. He began undoing much of what Walid had done. Under Walid, the Muslim Empire had expanded rapidly both in the east and the west under Hajjaj, Muhammad bin Qasim and Musa bin Nusair, Tariq bin Ziyad. Under Suleman, the expansion suddenly stopped. The new Caliph dismissed the able generals who had made these conquests. The only fault of these heroes of Islam was that they had been appointed by Walid.

Didn't read about the regret story of Caliph Sulaiman in History Books nor about the cancellation of execution. Caliph could not take any risk for the fall of his rule, so he removed all the people from the way who could threaten his rule.

I have also read this somewhere that when Salman bin Abdul Malk called Muhammad bin Qasim back to Damascus. The close fellows of Muhammad bin Qasim in Army suggested not to go back & to announce standing against Caliph but Muhammad bin Qasim refused to do so & ready to go back to Caliph in chains.
Soneone (I can't remember name) launched this complaint to the respectable Hazrat Omer bin Abdul Aziz. Hazrat Omer bin Abdul Aziz immediately went to Caliph Salman & suggested him not to do so. Caliph said that Saleh has taken Muhammad bin Qasim to Wasit(City Name). Hazrat Omer bin Abdul Aziz suggested to write a letter to Saleh to set him free. Zubair (Messeger) reached Wasit after continuous journey but when he reached there, he saw a funeral in the city, upon asking he came to know that this is funeral of Muhammad bin Qasim.
When people came to know about the letter of caliph, they attacked on Saleh's home & killed Saleh also.

This was the whole story.

Default Muhammad bin Qasim [695-715]

Here is a concise account of Muhammad Bin Qasim Life:

Muhammad bin Qasim was orphaned as a child and thus the responsibility of his upbringing fell upon his mother. She supervised his religious instruction herself, and hired different teachers for his worldly education. It was the uncle, Hajjaj bin Yousaf, who taught him the art of governing and warfare.

Qasim was an intelligent and cultured young man who at the age of fifteen was considered by many to be one of his uncle's greatest assets. As a show of faith in his nephew's abilities, Hajjaj married his daughter to Qasim. At the age of sixteen, he was asked to serve under the great general, Qutayba bin Muslim. Under his command Muhammad bin Qasim displayed a talent for skilful fighting and military planning. Hajjaj's complete trust in Qasim's abilities as a general became even more apparent when he appointed the young man as the commander of the all-important invasion on Sindh, when he was only seventeen years old. Muhammad bin Qasim proved Hajjaj right when he, without many problems, managed to win all his military campaigns. He used both his mind and military skills in capturing places like Daibul, Raor, Uch and Multan. History does not boast of many other commanders who managed such a great victory at such a young age.

Besides being a great general, Muhammad bin Qasim was also an excellent administrator. He established peace and order as well as a good administrative structure in the areas he conquered. He was a kind hearted and religious person. He had great respect for other religions. Hindu and Buddhist spiritual leaders were given stipends during his rule. The poor people of the land were greatly impressed by his policies and a number of them embraced Islam. Those who stuck to their old religions erected statues in his honor and started worshiping him after his departure from their land.

Muhammad bin Qasim was known for his obedience to the ruler. Walid bin Abdul Malik died and was succeeded by his younger brother Suleman as the Caliph. Suleman was an enemy of Hajjaj and thus ordered Qasim back to the kingdom. Qasim knew of the animosity between the two. He was aware that due to this enmity, he would not be well treated. He could have easily refused to obey the Caliph's orders and declare his independence in Sindh. Yet he was of the view that obeying ones ruler is the duty of a general and thus he decided to go back to the center. Here he became a victim to party politics. He was put behind bars where he died at age of twenty. Many historians believe that had he been given a few more years, he would have conquered the entire South Asian region.
