Overview
Al-Baladhuri relates al-Hajjaj's account of what he spent on Muhammad ibn al-Qasim in Sind and what came back from it, and what followed the killing of Dahir. 1
The account
Al-Hajjaj considered and found that he had spent sixty million, and that what had been brought to him was a hundred and twenty million. He said, as al-Baladhuri relates, that they had cooled their anger, avenged their blood and gained sixty million dirhams and the head of Dahir. 1
After al-Hajjaj's death
When al-Hajjaj died, Muhammad returned from Multan to Rur and gave gifts to the people. He sent an army to Bilaman, whose people submitted without fighting, and the people of Sarsanat made peace with him. 1
Then he came to al-Kiraj, where Duhar came out to fight him, and the enemy was routed. Duhar fled, and it is said he was killed. The people of the city came down under Muhammad's judgement, and he killed and took captives. 1 The place is al-Kiraj. The date needs an additional source.
