Overview
A city in Fars. Al-Baladhuri reports that it and Istakhr remained unconquered parts of Fars when Abd Allah ibn Amir came to Basra in 29 AH. 1
Al-Mas'udi says that in it is a fire temple built by Ardashir ibn Babak, on a wonderful spring that has a festival, and that it is one of the pleasure grounds of Fars; he saw it himself. 2
In its centre is a building that the Persians revered, called al-Tirbal, which the Muslims ruined. It lies ten farsakhs from the city of Kawar, and rose water of the Damask kind is made there, which he considers the finest rose water in the world. 2
