سياة السندي

Sayah al-Sindi, a leader from Sind. His report appears in the context of the conquest of al-Ahwaz in the caliphate of Umar ibn al-Khattab ¹.

He asked Abu Musa al-Ash'ari that he and his people enter Islam, on condition that they fight the non-Arabs alongside him, and he stipulated for them a stipend and a dwelling wherever they chose. Abu Musa wrote to Umar, who agreed ¹.

After the conquest they settled in Basra and became allies of the Banu Tamim, and many of them worked in the treasury and in money-changing ¹.
