Abbad ibn Ziyad's Qandahar and the 'Abbadiyya Caps
فتح عباد بن زياد قندهار والقلانس العبادية
Abbad ibn Ziyad raided from Sijistan — Sanarudh, Kish, across the mafaza — and took Qandahar after hard fighting and Muslim dead; seeing the folk's tall caps he had them copied, whence the 'Abbadiyya — and Ibn Mufarrigh's line: 'how many a corpse of your troops by Qandahar unburied'.
