Overview

al-Rashid had granted Ubayd Allah ibn al-Mahdi a land grant for sharecropping in al-Ahwaz. Later a doubt arose about it, and al-Ma'mun ordered it examined. 1

The account

Some people brought the matter before al-Ma'mun, and he ordered the land to be surveyed and inspected. 1

What had no doubt attached to it was carried out, and what was in doubt was called "the doubtful". The source says that this name is known in al-Ahwaz. 1

Notes

The data gives no date and no detailed place; it needs an additional source.
