His governor over Khurasan was al-Jarrah ibn Abd Allah al-Hakami. He imprisoned Mukhallad ibn Yazid and the agents of Yazid. 1
The raid of Ibn Ma'mar
Al-Jarrah sent Abd Allah ibn Ma'mar al-Yashkuri beyond the river. He penetrated deep into the lands of the enemy and considered entering China. The Turks surrounded him until he ransomed himself from them, and he went to al-Shash. 1
