Overview

Qiqan is a land of Sind on the side bordering Khurasan. Al-Baladhuri mentions that al-Muhallab ibn Abi Sufra raided it in the year 44 AH, and that al-Harith ibn Murra was killed there in the year 42 AH, along with Abd Allah ibn Sawwar and Rashid ibn Amr. 1

An additional source is needed: the data gives no page number, and the dates of the two events are taken from the summary alone.

Abdallah ibn Sawar al-Abdi

Abdallah ibn Sawar al-Abdi; frontier lord who gifted Mu'awiya Qiqani horses, then died at Qiqan to Turkish aid — so generous no other fire burned in his camp, and a lying-in woman's khabis meant three days' khabis for all.
