Overview
al-Baladhuri relates that Abu Musa al-Ash'ari went from Nihawand to Dinawar. He stayed there five days, fought it for one day, and then its people acknowledged the tribute and the kharaj. He then went on to Masabadhan, where its people did not fight him. 1
Dinawar and Masabadhan
The people of Dinawar asked for safety for themselves, their property and their children, and he granted it, and he left his agent there with horsemen. The people of Sirwan made peace with him on the terms of Dinawar, and he sent out raiding parties and gained control of its land. Some people say that he conquered Masabadhan before the battle of Nihawand. 1
al-Saymara
Abu Musa sent his son-in-law al-Sa'ib ibn al-Aqra' al-Thaqafi to al-Saymara, the city of Mihrajanqadhaf, and he took it by treaty for sparing lives, not taking captives, payment of the jizya and the kharaj of the land. al-Baladhuri holds that the more firmly established account is that he sent al-Sa'ib from al-Ahwaz. 1
