Conquest of Jur

فتح جور

Jur

Jur, Ardashir-Khurra's city, where Harim ibn Hayyan stood — the Muslims besieged it and came away to besiege Istakhr, raiding the countryside as if broken. When Ibn Amir sat before it they fought then fortified, and he took it by the sword in 29h; another telling: raided for years until they entered by a hidden way they held to till the city fell. Ibn Amir also took al-Karyan and Fashjan of Darabjird — neither had joined the Hirbadh's sulh, and both had breached.

Conquest of Surraq

Abu Musa took Surraq on Ramhurmuz's terms; they betrayed and Haritha ibn Badr's thick army failed to retake it — Abdallah ibn Amir took it by force, and Haritha governed it after. Abu al-Aswad satirized: 'Harith b. Badr, they gave you a charge — be a locust in it, betray and steal; your lot of the two Iraqs' wealth is Surraq' — and Haritha answered 'the God of folk repay you best — you spoke kindness and enjoined sufficiency; bid me decide and you would find me obedient — bid anything else, disobedient'.
