Overview

What al-Baladhuri reports
Al-Baladhuri says that Hisham opened what had been closed, sent Amr ibn Jumal in warships to Narand, opened Qashir and took many captives and slaves, and conquered Multan. In Qandabil there was a group of Arab Taghlibis, whom he expelled from it. Then he came by ship to Qandahar, conquered it, demolished the idol temple there and built a mosque in its place. 1
He also reports that the land prospered in his governorship, and people sought blessing through him. 1
The governors after him
After him the frontier of Sind was held by Umar ibn Hafs Hazarmard, then Dawud ibn Yazid ibn Hatim. 1
