Asad ibn Abdallah's Khurasan
ولاية أسد بن عبد الله خراسان
Asad made al-Hasan ibn Abi al-Mammarta over Samarqand, where Turkish raids he could never catch drove him to pray in khutba 'cut their tracks, hasten their fates, take patience from them' — the Samarqandis cursed him back: 'rather send patience on us and shake their feet'. Asad took Ghurud's sulh and conversion in the Nimrud mountains; at Balkh he ordered the city rebuilt and the diwans moved there, gained nothing at al-Khattl amid famine, beat Nasr ibn Sayyar for reported talk and sent him to Khalid with three charged with shu'ubiyya — then left al-Hakam ibn Awana al-Kalbi in his place.
