Overview
Bistam ibn Tarsi, a landlord of Babil and Khatranniya. He embraced Islam after the conquest of al-Sawad. Al-Baladhuri relates that Umar did not interfere with him, did not take the land from his hand, and removed the poll tax from his neck. 1
The year of his Islam and the page number are not in the museum's data, and need an additional source.
