al-Ashras ibn Abdallah al-Sulami

أشرس بن عبد الله السلمي

al-Ashras ibn Abdallah al-Sulami; Hisham's governor, guided by his Nabati katib Abu Umayya — raised the levies, freed converts from jizya, watched the kharaj collapse, clawed it back as musalama, and sent the jailed-then-bailed Thabit Qutna to a death by Turks.

أشرس بن عبد الله السلمي استعمله هشام على خراسان. يروي البلاذري أن معه كاتباً نبطياً يكنى أبا أمية زين له الشر، فزاد في وظائف خراسان واستخف بالدهاقين. ودعا أهل ما وراء النهر إلى الإسلام وطرح الجزية عمن أسلم، فأسرعوا إليه وانكسر الخراج، فأخذ المسالمة فأنكروا ذلك. وحبس ثابت قطنة ثم خلى سبيله، فقتلته الترك. 1

Thabit 'Qutna' al-Azdi — cotton-plugged for a gouged eye; he raged for the converts taxed after Islam, was jailed then bailed by al-Ashras, and sent where the Turks killed him.
