Qays's Balkh Campaign and Nawbahar's Ruin
حملة قيس على بلخ وخراب النوبهار
With Badghis, Herat, Bushanj and Balkh still on their breach, Ibn Amir sent Qays ibn al-Haytham against Balkh — its Nawbahar was ruined by Ata ibn al-Sa'ib, Banu al-Layth's mawla called al-Khashl, who also built the 'Qanatir Ata' over three rivers a farsakh out. Balkh sued for peace and return to obedience; Qays granted it — and Ibn Amir, when he presented himself, struck him a hundred lashes and imprisoned him. Ibn Khazim, appointed next, received Herat, Bushanj and Badghis's suit for aman, truced them, and bore their money to Ibn Amir.
