Tamim ibn Zayd al-Utbi

Tamim ibn Zayd al-Atabi, governor of Sind after al-Junayd ¹.

al-Baladhuri reports that he was weak and feeble, and that he was one of the most generous of the Arabs. He found eighteen million Tatariyya dirhams in the treasury of Sind, and he hastened to spend them ¹.

al-Farazdaq wrote to him about the dismissal of Khunays al-Yarbu'i. When the name was unclear to him, he ordered that everyone whose name had letters like those be dismissed ¹.

He died near al-Daybul, at the Water of the Buffaloes, and in his days the Muslims withdrew from the lands of India ¹.
