Al-Kiryawn
الكريون
Al-Kiryawn, a place below Alexandria where Amr ibn al-As met the Roman and Copt hosts mustered to strike him at al-Fustat — routing them in a great slaughter; and there he told the Muslims 'go forth with God's blessing — whoever plants his spear in a house, it is his and his sons'', so a house stood shared between two and three souls as ribat-day lodgings, neither sold nor inherited.
