al-Junayd's Sind Wars
حروب الجنيد بالسند
Al-Junayd came to Daybul and the eastern bank; Jaysha, refusing him, sent 'I have converted, the righteous man gave me my lands — I trust you not'. Hostages were exchanged for his country's kharaj, then returned as his people apostatized and fought — some say he never fought but al-Junayd wronged him. Gathering hosts and ships from Hind, he met al-Junayd's fleet at Batiha al-Sharqi, was taken captive, ship fleeing, and killed; Sasa ibn Dahir, fleeing to Iraq to charge al-Junayd's treachery, was cozened into a handclasp and slain. Breached al-Kiraj fell to his battering rams, walls cracked, stormed; agents went to Marmad, al-Mandal, Dahnaj and Barus. 'Killing in panic outweighs patience' he said; his armies raided Uzayn and burned Baharmad's rabad — and al-Baylaman and al-Jarz yielded forty million at home besides his zuwwar's share, as Jarir sang his open-handedness.
