Overview
Qandahar is a city on the road from Sijistan to India. Abbad ibn Ziyad conquered it after fighting, and some Muslim men were wounded there. 1
The report says that he modelled it on the tall caps (qalansiyy) of its people, and so it was called "al-Ibadiyya". It also transmits the saying of Ibn Mufarragh about it: "In Qandahar, and whoever's death is written in Qandahar, news of him is kept from reaching him." 1
An additional source is needed: the page number and the date are not established in the museum's data.
