Conquest of al-Ahwaz, Manadhir and Nahr Tiri (16 AH)

The conquest of Ahwaz, Manadhir and Nahr Tira in Khuzistan: Hormuzan was routed on the day of Ahwaz's market and the Muslims took the city; Hurqus b. Zuhayr sent Jaz' b. Mu'awiya after him, killing until the village of al-Shughr, where Hormuzan slipped him. Jaz' turned to Dawraq, took it outright, and called the fugitives to jizya — they answered. He built up the country, cut canals and revived dead land; Hormuzan sued for peace, and 'Umar agreed on condition that what the Muslims had taken stayed in their hands ¹.
