Overview
al-Baladhuri relates that Abu Musa al-Ash'ari, when he withdrew from Nihawand, marched to al-Ahwaz and then came to Qum. He stayed there for days and then took it. 1
He sent al-Ahnaf ibn Qays to Qashan, which he took by force. In one account, al-Ash'ari came down at Isfahan and offered them Islam, and they refused. They made peace with him on the jizya, then broke faith, and he fought them and God gave him the upper hand over them. al-Baladhuri quotes Muhammad ibn Sa'd as thinking that this was about the people of Qum. 2
