Maslama ibn Abd al-Malik

Maslama ibn Abd al-Malik ibn Marwan the Umayyad; in al-Baladhuri: the Baghras lands were his and he endowed them in the way of good, as were Ayn al-Salur and its pond; he granted companies of Rabi'a estates that were later seized and passed to al-Ma'mun; marching against the Byzantines from the Jaziran marches he camped at Balis, whose people with those of Nuwaylis, Qasirin, Ayidin and Siffin asked him to dig them a channel from the Euphrates to water their land in return for a third of their yield after the sultan's tithe — he did, digging the river named Nahr Maslama, and they kept the bargain while he repaired and strengthened the city's wall; Balis and its villages passed to his heirs until the blessed dynasty came, when Abu al-Abbas granted them to Sulayman ibn Ali.
