Abbad ibn Ziyad's Qandahar and the 'Abbadiyya Caps

Abbad ibn Ziyad raided the frontier of India from Sistan. The account in al-Baladhuri's book says that he conquered Qandahar after a battle in which some Muslim men were struck down. ¹

According to the account, he came to Sinarud, then took the road by Huwa Kahr to al-Rudhbar in the land of Sistan, to al-Mandamand. He stopped at Kash and crossed the desert until he reached Qandahar. ¹

Its people fought him; he defeated them, routed them and conquered the city. He saw that the caps worn by its people were tall, so he made the same, and they were called "the Abbadiyya" after him. al-Baladhuri quotes a verse by Ibn Mufarrigh that names the soldiers killed at Qandahar. ¹
