Overview
Sarakhs is a city in Khurasan. Abd Allah ibn Khazim fought it, then its marzban Zadhwayh asked for peace in exchange for the safety of a hundred men and the surrender of the women. His daughter fell to the share of Ibn Khazim, and he named her Maysha'. 1
Two accounts
It is said that Zadhwayh named the hundred and did not name himself, so he was killed, the city was entered by force, and Ibn Khazim prevailed over its land. 1
