The Aman of Jundishapur

أمان جنديسابور

Jundishapur

Abu Musa marched on panic-struck Jundishapur; they asked aman and he truced: no killing, no captives, no hands on wealth but weapons. A band of its folk went off to al-Kalbaniyya — al-Rabi' ibn Ziyad killed them and took it; and the asawira sought aman, were granted it, and converted.

Conquest of Manadhir

Abu Musa besieged Manadhir against fierce fighting; al-Muhajir ibn Ziyad, al-Rabi' ibn Ziyad's brother, meant to sell his life fasting — Abu Musa had sworn every faster break his fast or not fight, so he drank 'not from thirst' and fell martyred, his head raised on the citadel between two merlons — the poem 'راح المهاجر في حل بإجمال' mourns him. Al-Rabi' ibn Ziyad, left in charge, took Manadhir by force — killing the fighters, capturing the children — so both Manadhirs passed to the Muslims under Asim ibn Qays al-Sulami; in another telling Umar ruled it 'a Sawad village — return what you took'.
