Ibn al-Ash'ath's Tabaristan Campaign
غزوة ابن الأشعث طبرستان
Ubaydallah ibn Ziyad made Muhammad ibn al-Ash'ath ibn Qays al-Kindi governor of Tabaristan; he treated with them and bound a compact, they let him in, then seized the narrows, killed his son Abu Bakr and crushed his skull — Muhammad escaped, and the raiders of that frontier stayed wary of driving deep into enemy land.
