Abdallah ibn Sawar at Qiqan
شأن عبد الله بن سوار بالقيقان
Abdallah ibn Sawar al-Abdi held the frontier, raided Qiqan, and gifted Mu'awiya Qiqani horses; back there the people summoned the Turks who killed him. So open-handed that none lit a fire but his — once, told a strange fire was a lying-in woman's khabis, he fed the whole camp khabis three days.
