Overview
Abd Allah ibn Amir sent an army to Herat under Aws ibn Thalaba, or it is said Khudayd ibn Abd Allah al-Hanafi. The great man of Herat came to Ibn Amir and made peace with him over Herat, Badhghis and Bushanj, without a tyrant or rebels, though these two were taken by force. 1
The text of the letter
Al-Baladhuri says that Ibn Amir wrote to the great man of Herat a letter ordering him to fear God, advise the Muslims and improve the land. He made peace with him for a poll tax to be divided over the lands with justice, and whoever withholds what is due has no covenant and no protection. Rabi ibn Nahshal wrote the letter, and Ibn Amir sealed it. 1
Another account
In a second account Ibn Amir marched to Herat and fought its people, then a marzban made peace with him for a million dirhams over Herat, Bushanj and Badhghis. 1
A second source is needed to fix the date.
