al-Hajjaj's Sind Ledger and the Conquests after Dahir
حساب الحجاج في غزو السند وما بعد داهر
al-Hajjaj totted it up: sixty million spent on Muhammad ibn al-Qasim against a hundred and twenty million gained — 'we have sated our wrath, taken our revenge, gained sixty million dirhams — and Dahir's head'. Al-Hajjaj died while Muhammad fought on; back at al-Rur he gave stipends, took al-Baylaman's unresisted submission and Sursant's peace — today's Basran resort — then al-Kiraj, where Dahir's son Duhar sallied, fled or fell, and the city came down on terms amid killing and captives: 'we killed Dahir and Duhar, and horse fells knight after knight'.
