Al-Fustat

الفسطاط

Al-Fustat in al-Baladhuri: the city had been called al-Yuna, renamed al-Fustat by the Muslims as 'the people's encampment and gathering' — or, some say, for the tent Amr pitched there; Amr camped at Jinan al-Rayhan while its folk ditched, and al-Zubayr scaled its fortress by ladder bare-sworded until it fell by force; al-Zubayr laid his khitta there and built his famous house — the one Abdallah ibn al-Zubayr later lodged in when raiding Ifriqiya — its jizya set at two dinars per free man save the poor, its land made kharaj-land.
