Overview

Abd Allah ibn Umayya ibn Abd Allah ibn Khalid ibn Usayd. His father appointed him over Sistan while he was in Kirman. ¹

He made peace with Rutbil the second when he came down at Bust, and then went deep into the country, and Rutbil seized the passes against him. ¹

The matter ended in a peace for three hundred thousand dirhams and a writ not to raid, after which Abd al-Malik removed him. ¹

The source describes the details of the negotiation with a confident account of its terms; the page number is not given here, and this needs an additional source.
