the Zutt

The Zutt are a people of Sind who were in the army of the Persians, among those the Persians had taken captive and paid stipends to. Before Islam they were on the coasts and in the lowlands, following pasture. ¹

When they heard of the affair of the Asawira, they embraced Islam and came to Abu Musa, who settled them in Basra among Banu Hanzala. ¹

Then al-Hajjaj brought a large number of the Zutt of Sind, with their families and their water buffalo, and settled them in the lowest parts of Kaskar. ¹

They took over the marshes and cut the roads in the days of al-Ma'mun. Ajif ibn Anbasa took them to al-Mu'tasim, and dispersed them in Khanaqin, Ayn Zarba and the frontier posts. ¹
