The Habata Unrest in Sijistan
فتنة الحبطات بسجستان
Ibn Samura left Umair ibn al-Ahmar al-Yashkuri over Zaranj when Uthman's affair unravelled — its people expelled him and shut the gates. After the Camel, Hasaka ibn Utab al-Habati and Imran ibn al-Fasil al-Burjumi rode out with Arab desperadoes: plundered Zaliq whose folk had broken, captured al-Bakhtari's grandfather al-Asamm ibn Mujahid, and entered Zaranj whose marzban truced. Ali's envoy Abd al-Rahman ibn Jaza' al-Ta'i was killed by Hasaka — 'I will kill four thousand of the Habata', and it was said 'the Habata are not even five hundred'; Abu Mikhnaf adds that Awn ibn Jamda al-Makhzumi, sent likewise, was killed by the bandit Buhadali al-Ta'i. Ali then had Ibn Abbas send Rubay'i ibn al-Kas al-Anbari with four thousand — with al-Husayn ibn Abi al-Hurr and Na'il ibn Dhi al-Hurra on the vanguard — who killed Hasaka and secured the country, their rajaz vow: 'we will not befriend the party of Ibn Affan — we found it in the Book of the Furqan'.
