Overview

Muhammad ibn Sinan al-Ujli, a client of the Banu Ujl from Kufa. He was among the eighty whom al-Hajjaj sent to garrison against the Daylam (the expedition of al-Hajjaj against the Daylam). He alighted in a village of the villages of Dastabi, then went to Qazvin, and built a house in its suburb. 1

The people of the frontier blamed him for exposing himself to ruin and exposing them to weakness, but he did not turn to them. The people built with him outside the city until the suburb was completed. 1
