Overview
Muhammad ibn al-Qasim reached al-Rur, one of the cities of Sind. He besieged it for months, then took it by treaty. 1
The siege and the treaty
al-Rur was on a hill, and he besieged its people for months. He took it by treaty, on condition that he would not kill them nor interfere with their bud. He said that the bud is nothing but like the churches of the Christians and Jews, and the fire-temples of the Magians. 1
He imposed kharaj on them at al-Rur and built a mosque there. 1
After al-Rur
Muhammad marched to al-Sikka, a town beyond Bayas, and took it. The source says that al-Sikka is now in ruins. 1
