Conquest of Isfahan (21 AH)

Isfahan fell to 'Abdallah ibn 'Abdallah ibn 'Utban, the Ansari ally of the Hubla clan, reinforced by Abu Musa. Its vanguard commander Shahriyar ibn Jadhawiya, an aged shaykh, called for a duel and was killed by 'Abdallah ibn Warqa' al-Riyahi; the army broke, Jayy was besieged, and the Fadhusfan capitulated on jizya terms — those who stayed kept their property, the lands of those who fled became the Muslims'.
