Urwa ibn Zayd al-Khayl al-Ta'i
عروة بن زيد الخيل الطائي
Urwa ibn Zayd al-Khayl al-Ta'i; in al-Baladhuri sent by Abu Ubayd to al-Zawabi whose dihqan he pacified on Barusma's terms; at the Bridge he fought a fight worth a company's and carried al-Muthanna's report to Umar. Sent by Ammar at Umar's command to Rayy and Dastaba with eight thousand — victorious over Daylam and Rayy's host — he bore the news to Umar himself and was named al-Bashir, he who once carried the Bridge's tidings.
