Overview
Marand is a city in Azerbaijan that was once a small village, settled by Halbas, father of al-Bu'ayth. Then al-Bu'ayth fortified it, followed by his son Muhammad ibn al-Bu'ayth, who built palaces there. When he rebelled in the caliphate of al-Mutawakkil, Bugha al-Saghir fought him until he prevailed over him, and he demolished its wall and his palace. 1
An additional source is needed for the page number. The data reads "Bana al-Saghir", and the correct form is probably "Bugha al-Saghir".
