Overview
The news of the killing of Muhammad ibn Zayd al-Alawi arrived in Shawwal 287 AH. 1
He had set out toward Khurasan, hoping to take it after Isma'il ibn Ahmad had captured Amr ibn al-Layth. When he met the army of Muhammad ibn Harun at the gate of Jurjan, his army was routed. 1
What is not covered here: the details of the battle and the manner of his killing, which need an additional source.
