Overview
al-Tabari reports that Abu Muslim came to Marw on the first day of Ramadan 129 AH, and that the Abbasid call was made public in Khurasan that year. 1 2
In 130 AH he entered the walled town of Marw and took up residence in the governor's house, in Jumada al-Akhira. 3
Needs an additional source: the date comes from al-Tabari's index alone. A different report in the museum differs on the day and month; see Abu Muslim's entry into Marw and his followers' assault on Mudar.
