Uthman ibn Abi al-As's Raids on Tana and the Indian Coast
غارة عثمان بن أبي العاص على تانه والهند
In 15h Umar gave Uthman ibn Abi al-As al-Thaqafi Bahrayn and Uman; he sent brother al-Hakam to Bahrayn and from Uman detached troops to Tana — Umar's answer was the famous 'ya akha Thaqif, you set worms upon wood; had they been struck I'd have taken their like from your people'. Al-Hakam sent to Barus, and brother al-Mughira to the Daybul creek, where he met the enemy and prevailed.
