Abdullah ibn Umayya

عبد الله بن أمية

Abdullah ibn Umayya; given Sijistan by his father while at Kirman — truced the second Rutbil at Bust for a million, refused gifts with 'fill this portico with gold or no peace', a ruse that let Rutbil trap him in the defiles; he settled for three hundred thousand, a written covenant, and no-raid terms — and Abd al-Malik dismissed him.
