Ujayf ibn Anbasa

عجيف بن عنبسة

Ujayf ibn Anbasa, a Khurasani; al-Mu'tasim's commander against the Zutt brigands of the batiha — given captains, troops and open funds, he staged lean horses to Baghdad so word came within hours, dammed the water against them with great works and took them all, barging them to Madinat al-Salam.

the Zutt

The Zutt — a Sindhi people among the captives taken for the Persian jund; pre-Islamic they pastured the coasts and the Taff, then hearing of the asawira they converted and Abu Musa lodged them in Banu Hanzala at Basra. A second mass al-Hajjaj settled with families and buffaloes in Kaskar's lowlands overran the batiha and cut the roads under al-Ma'mun, till Ujayf ibn Anbasa took them wholesale for al-Mu'tasim and scattered them to Khaniqin, Ayn Zarba and the thughur.
