Overview

Juzjan is a region of Khurasan. The routed survivors of the battle of al-Ahnaf reached it, in Tukharistan, and al-Aqra ibn Habis al-Tamimi was sent to them with horsemen. The Muslims had a setback, then they charged again, routed their enemy, and conquered it by force. From it comes the district of Huf, with the two castles. 1
