Abu Dulaf's Daylam Campaign

Abu Dulaf al-Qasim ibn Isa raided Daylam in al-Ma'mun's reign and was governor under al-Mu'tasim in al-Afshin's Jibal command, taking fortresses — Iqlism whose people treated for tribute, Bumaj taken by force then brought to tribute-terms, al-Iblam and Andaq among others — while al-Afshin sent other raiders who took Daylami forts as well.
