Overview
Bashshar ibn Muslim ibn Amr al-Bahili, brother of Qutayba ibn Muslim. He gave al-Hajjaj a horse, which won a race for him, so al-Hajjaj granted him seven hundred jaribs, and it is said four hundred. 1
Bashshar dug for this land the river known as "the river of Bashshar". 1
The first and second reports about the size of the grant are both in the source, and the page is not fixed; this needs an additional source.
