Sinan ibn Salama ibn al-Muhabbiq al-Hudhali

Sinan ibn Salama ibn al-Muhabbiq al-Hudhali, a commander whom al-Baladhuri describes as a virtuous and devout man, and as the first to make the troops swear by divorce. He conquered Makran by force, founded its garrison town, settled there, secured the land, and died at Qasdar ¹.

al-Baladhuri transmits from Ibn al-Kalbi that Hakim ibn Jabala was the one who conquered Makran, and that he took charge of the people after Rashid ibn Amr, and Ziyad appointed him over the frontier for two years. The two accounts are in the same source, and no preference between them is given here ¹.
