Conquest of Kirman

فتح كرمان

Kirman

Uthman ibn Abi al-As (may God be pleased with him) met Kirman's marzban at Abr Kawan by night and killed him — Kirman weakened and hearts dismayed. Ibn Amir sent Mujashi' ibn Mas'ud after Yazdgard to Bimand, where his army perished; left in charge when Ibn Amir marched for Khurasan, Mujashi' took Bimand by force — sparing its folk on aman; his Qasr Mujashi' stands there — took Burukharwa, then al-Shirjan, Kirman's chief city: days of siege, a horse-sally, taken by storm, a man left behind and many of its people exiled. Abu Musa had earlier sent al-Rabi' ibn Ziyad round al-Shirjan, trucing Bamm and the Andaghar — betrayed, Mujashi' retook them, took Jirraft by force, and rode Kirman till it was tamed.

Overview

Al-Baladhuri relates that Uthman ibn Abi al-As met the marzban of Kirman on the island of Abr Kawan and killed him, and the strength of the people of Kirman was weakened. 1

The conquest of Bayminda

When Ibn Amir came to Fars, he sent Mujashi ibn Mas'ud al-Sulami to Kirman in pursuit of Yazdegerd. He reached Bayminda and his army perished there. Then Ibn Amir appointed him over Kirman when he set out for Khurasan. Bayminda took it by force, spared its people and gave them safe conduct. There is a palace there known as the Palace of Mujashi. 1

Shiraj and the surrounding area

Mujashi took Barukhruwa, then came to Shiraj, the city of Kirman, and stayed over it for some days. He fought them, took it by force and left a man there, and many of its people went into exile. Abu Musa had sent al-Rabi ibn Ziyad, who took the area around Shiraj and made peace with the people of Bam and al-Andaghar. Then its people became unbelievers and broke their covenant, and Mujashi took it, conquered Jiruft by force and marched through Kirman. 1

Conquest of Jur

Jur, Ardashir-Khurra's city, where Harim ibn Hayyan stood — the Muslims besieged it and came away to besiege Istakhr, raiding the countryside as if broken. When Ibn Amir sat before it they fought then fortified, and he took it by the sword in 29h; another telling: raided for years until they entered by a hidden way they held to till the city fell. Ibn Amir also took al-Karyan and Fashjan of Darabjird — neither had joined the Hirbadh's sulh, and both had breached.
