al-Rabi' ibn Ziyad's Fifty-Thousand Transplant

نقل الربيع بن زياد خمسين ألفاً إلى خراسان

In 51h Ziyad gave Khurasan to al-Rabi' ibn Ziyad al-Harithi, who moved near fifty thousand folk of the two misrs with their families — among them Burayda ibn al-Husayb al-Aslami, who died at Marw under Yazid ibn Mu'awiya, and Abu Barza al-Aslami, who died there too — settling them short of the river; he was the first to order the troops' garrison-settling. News of Hujr ibn Adi's killing grieved him; he prayed for death, fell that day, and died in 53h. His son Abdallah succeeded, fought Amul and Zamm into sulh, and died at Marw two months on.
