† Hijri date derived by computation from the Gregorian/Julian date; it may differ from the transmitted date by a day or two.

In al-Baladhuri: al-Mutawakkil gave him Egypt's mine, the Qulzum, the Hijaz road and Egypt's hajj command; he warred on the Buja in small numbers, hung bells on his horses so their camels bolted, killed their king and made peace with his successor in 241 on tribute and baqt — in al-Maqrizi's version he returned to Baghdad with their king Ali Baba, then Sa'd al-Khadim gave him the Buja and the Mecca road; he settled at Aswan and died there.

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.
