Shahrazur

شهرزور

A city on Iraq's upper flank toward the mountain; Uzra ibn Qays failed at it and Utba ibn Farqad took it after fighting on Hulwan's terms — the approach-fever killing Muslims — with al-Samaghan and Darabadh treating alongside; its district stayed joined to Mosul till late in al-Rashid's reign.
