  "en": "The qati'a in Basra and the Sawad: land the ruler grants a man to reclaim and cultivate — Ziyad would grant a tract, allow two years, then seize it if unimproved ('I execute only what is brought to life'); he was the first to clear the thorn-land and grant folk the villages emptied by the plagues and the salt-flats. Grants ran to thousands of jarib — Hilal ibn Ahwaz's eight thousand, Ibn Umayr's eight thousand — and al-Mansur's surveyors, measuring the Abu Bakra family's hundred-jarib holding at a thousand, left them their hundred and seized the rest."

Ziyad was the first to uproot the *'uthm* (a thorny plant) in Basra, and he allotted land to people in the villages whose inhabitants had died. {cite:futuh-buldan-maarif-1407}\n\nSome governors' allotments reached thousands of *jurib* (units of land): the allotment of Hilal ibn Ahwaz was eight thousand *jurib*, and that of Abd Allah ibn Umayr eight thousand. The surveyors of al-Mansur measured the allotment of the family of Abu Bakra, which was a hundred *jurib*, and found it to be a thousand. They allowed them to keep a hundred in their hands and took back the rest. {cite:futuh-buldan-maarif-1407}"
