عنبسة بن إسحاق الضبي

عنبسة بن إسحاق الضبي

In al-Baladhuri via al-Maqrizi's version: Egypt's amir, to whom al-Mutawakkil wrote ordering aid for Muhammad al-Qummi in the Buja war — he supplied what he needed. Earlier, as al-Mu'tasim's Sind governor, he razed Daybul's temple-tower for a prison and began the city's repair with its stones before dismissal.

البجة

In al-Baladhuri: a desert people with camels and herds whose land — a month's barren march of rugged mountains from Islam's lands — holds the gold mines; they raided Egypt's land and withheld the mines' dues, so Muhammad al-Qummi warred on them in al-Mutawakkil's time — their camels skittish at everything, he hung bells on his horses and the camels bolted — and they made peace in 241 on tribute and baqt.
