Musafir al-Qassab
مسافر القصّاب
Musafir al-Qassab, one al-Dahhak al-Khariji had empowered at al-Bab, who gave him Armenia and Adharbayjan; he came to Ardabil in disguise, a body of Sharat went out with him, crowds rallied till he camped at Yunan, and he held Qal'at al-Kilab in Sisajan against Ishaq ibn Muslim; when the Abbasid Dawla came, Abu Ja'far al-Mansur — then governing Jazira and Armenia under al-Saffah — sent a Khurasani commander who fought him till he overcame and killed him.
