Fars

Late in Umar's caliphate Abu Musa and Uthman ibn Abi al-As (may God be pleased with him) joined: Arrajan by sulh on jizya and kharaj; Shiraz of Ardashir-Khurra — dhimma paying kharaj, free exodus for who wished, no killing no enslaving; Siniz whose folk stayed land-workers; Uthman took Hisn Jannaba by aman, and Jarra, Kazarun and Nawbandajan of Sabur; Harim ibn Hayyan took Qal'at Shabir by force after siege and fighting.

Overview

At the end of Umar's caliphate, Abu Musa al-Ash'ari and Uthman ibn Abi al-As came together and conquered Arrajan, Shiraz and Sinis in the land of Fars. 1

Arrajan and Shiraz

They took Arrajan by treaty, on the poll tax and the land tax. They took Shiraz, which is of the land of Ardashir Khurra, on condition that its people be protected subjects who pay the tax, except those who wished to leave, and that they not be killed or enslaved. 1

Sinis and others

They conquered Sinis and left its people to cultivate the land. Uthman took the fortress of Janaba by safe conduct, and also Jarra, Kazarun and al-Nubandajan. 1

Harim ibn Hayyan al-Abdi took the fortress of Shubayr by force, after a siege and fighting. 1

Conquest of Sabur

Uthman came to Sabur in 23 or 24h — its folk already dreading the Muslims and its marzban, Shahrak's brother, having dreamed an Arab stripped his shirt, which gripped his heart — after brief defiance he sought aman: no killing no captives, dhimma and prompt payment. The people later betrayed, and in 26h Abu Musa took it by force, Uthman ibn Abi al-As on his vanguard.
