al-Nusayr

Raider on the Iraq marches at the conquest; in al-Baladhuri sent by al-Muthanna ibn Haritha with Hudhayfa ibn Mihsan to Tikrit after the Day of the Bridge, safe-conducting Ukbara and al-Baradan and routing Khurzad ibn Mahibandadh at Qasr Sabur; also said sent by Khalid ibn al-Walid against Maskin and Qatarrabul villages — the name appears as al-Tusayr in places.
