Overview
Al-Nusayr, a leader of raids on the borders of Iraq at the time of the conquest. His name appears in some places as "al-Tusayr". 1
His raids
Al-Baladhuri says that al-Muthanna ibn Haritha and Hudhayfa ibn Mihsan sent him to Tikrit after the battle of the Bridge. He raided the Banu Taghlib and took cattle and sheep, gave safe conduct to the people of Akbara and al-Bardan, and defeated Kharzad ibn Mahbandadh at the palace of Shapur. 1
He also relates that he set out at the command of Khalid ibn al-Walid, and raided the villages of Maskan and Qatarbul. 1
