al-Mundhir ibn al-Jarud's Conquest of Qusdar

Al-Baladhuri relates that Ziyad appointed al-Mundhir ibn al-Jarud al-Abdi, whose kunya was Abu al-Ash'ath, over the frontier of India. He raided al-Buqan and al-Qiqan, and the Muslims were victorious and took booty. ¹

Al-Mundhir sent raiding parties into the enemy's lands, and conquered Qusdar and took captives there. Sinan ibn Salama had conquered it before him, but its people broke their covenant, and Sinan died there. ¹

The source also gives a report that Ubayd Allah ibn Ziyad appointed Sinan ibn Salama, and that Ibn Hurri was in charge of his raiding parties. ¹

Al-Baladhuri says that the people of al-Buqan were Muslims in his time, and that Imran ibn Musa al-Barmaki built a city there called al-Bayda in the caliphate of al-Mu'tasim. ¹
