  "en": "Ascalon on the Filastin coast; taken under Umar — some say by Amr ibn al-As — by treaty after stratagem, and it is said Amr had taken it before its people broke faith and the Byzantines reinforced them, so Mu'awiya retook it, settling ribat-fighters there and placing guards; shaykhs of its people reported the Byzantines ruined it and expelled its inhabitants in Ibn al-Zubayr's days, and Abd al-Malik rebuilt and fortified it; it holds land-grants made at Umar's and Uthman's command, which Muhammad ibn Yusuf al-Faryabi saw no harm in entering, and Abd al-Malik granted an Arab man an estate there among the murabita grants."
