Bishr ibn Dawud's Revolt and Musa ibn Yahya al-Barmaki's Rule
عصيان بشر بن داود وولاية موسى بن يحيى البرمكي
Sind ran smooth till Bishr ibn Dawud rebelled under al-Ma'mun; Ghassan ibn Abbad of Kufa's sawad drew him out in aman and carried him to Baghdad, then left Musa ibn Yahya al-Barmaki over the thaghr — who slew Bala king of al-Sharqi despite his offered five hundred thousand for life, Bala having once courted Ghassan before the assembled kings. Musa ruled well and died in 215h; his son Imran succeeded.
