Amr's Four Lieutenants Carry the Fustat Terms through Egypt

توجيهات عمرو الأربعة لقرى مصر

c. 20 AH

Ayn Shams → Al-Fayyum → Tinnis → Damietta

In al-Baladhuri, from a group who witnessed Egypt's conquest: when Amr ibn al-As took al-Fustat he sent Abdallah ibn Hudhafa al-Sahmi to Ayn Shams, who gained its land and compounded its villages on Fustat's terms; sent Kharija ibn Hudhafa al-Adawi to al-Fayyum, al-Ashmunayn, Ikhmim, al-Bashrudat and the Sa'id's villages, who did likewise; sent Umayr ibn Wahb al-Jumahi to Tinnis, Dimyat, Tuna, Damira, Shata, Diqahla, Bana and Busir, who did likewise; and sent Utba ibn Amir al-Juhani — or, some say, his mawla Wardan, lord of Suq Wardan in Egypt — to all lower Egypt's villages, who did likewise; thus was Amr's conquest of Egypt completed and its land made kharaj-land.
