Qays ibn al-Haytham's Tukharistan March

سيرة قيس بن الهيثم بطخارستان

Siminjan

Left in charge, Qays ibn al-Haytham marched through Tukharistan; every land truced and yielded till Siminjan resisted — he besieged and stormed it. It is said Ibn Amir divided Khurasan among three: al-Ahnaf ibn Qays, Hatim ibn al-Nu'man al-Bahili and Qays ibn al-Haytham, the first the most established.

The Conquest of Naysabur

Ibn Amir besieged Abarshahr — Naysabur's city — for months, each quarter under its own warden; one quarter-warden took aman to admit the Muslims by night, they opened the gate, and the marzban fortified in the qahandaz, then sought aman to compound for all Naysabur on a fixed wazifa — concluded at a million dirhams, some say seven hundred thousand. Qays ibn al-Haytham al-Sulami was made its governor at the conquest.
