Overview
Ujayf ibn Anbasa, a man of Khurasan, whom the caliph al-Mu'tasim appointed to fight the Zutt who had cut the road at al-Bataiha 1.
Fighting the Zutt
al-Mu'tasim added to him many commanders and soldiers, and refused him nothing he asked for in money. Ujayf stationed fast horses between the marshes and the City of Peace, so that news of the Zutt reached him within hours. He cut off the water from them at great expense until he took them, and not one of them escaped. He brought them to the City of Peace in small boats 1.
