Kabul's Breach and Yazid ibn Ziyad's Death
نكث أهل كابل ومقتل يزيد بن زياد
Kabul's folk broke and captured Abu Ubayda ibn Ziyad; Yazid ibn Ziyad marched on them at Junza and fell with many of his men — among the slain Zayd ibn Abdallah ibn Abi Mulayka al-Qurashi and Sila ibn Ashyam Abu al-Sahba' al-Adawi, husband of Mu'adha al-Adawiyya. Salm ibn Ziyad sent Talha ibn Abdallah ibn Khalaf al-Khuza'i — Talhat al-Talhat — who ransomed Abu Ubayda for five hundred thousand dirhams, then governed Sijistan for Salm, levying and rewarding his followers until he died there; a Yashkuri deputy was expelled by the Mudaris, factionalism broke out, each tribe seized its own town — and Rutbil took hope.
