Umar II's Da'wa beyond the River and Ibn Ma'mar's Raid

دعوة عمر الثاني ملوك ما وراء النهر وغزو ابن معمر

Umar ibn Abd al-Aziz wrote the kings beyond the river summoning them to Islam — some converted. His Khurasan governor al-Jarrah ibn Abdallah al-Hakami jailed Mukhallad ibn Yazid and Yazid's agents, and sent Abdallah ibn Ma'mar al-Yashkuri deep into enemy lands till he neared China; the Turks surrounded him till he ransomed free and reached al-Shash. Umar lifted kharaj from Khurasan's converts.

Al-Jarrah ibn Abdallah's Governorship of Armenia

In al-Baladhuri: Sulayman ibn Abd al-Malik gave Armenia to Adi ibn Adi ibn Amira al-Kindi — Adi ibn Amira being one of those who settled al-Raqqa having parted with Ali ibn Abi Talib — then Umar ibn Abd al-Aziz appointed him, he being the owner of the Nahr Adi at al-Baylaqan, though some say Umar's governor was Hatim ibn al-Nu'man, which is unsound; then Yazid ibn Abd al-Malik appointed Mi'laq ibn Saffar al-Bahrani, removed him for al-Harith ibn Amr al-Ta'i, who raided the Lakz and took Rustaq Hamsadan; and al-Jarrah ibn Abdallah al-Hakami of Mudhhij governed Armenia, settling at Bardha'a, where its conflicting measures and weights were laid before him and he set them on justice and fulness, making a measure called al-Jarrahi which its people deal by to this day; then he crossed the Kurr and marched until he passed the river called al-Samur, reaching the Khazars and killing them in a great slaughter, and fought the people of Bilad Hamzin, then compounded with them to transfer them to a rustaq.
