فتح مكران على يد سنان بن سلمة

مكران

Ziyad appointed the pious Sinan ibn Salama ibn al-Muhabbiq al-Hudhali — first to bind his troops with divorce-oaths — who took Makran by storm, garrisoned it, and held it firm; the poets mocked his swearing ('a divorce whose wife gets no dower'). Ibn al-Kalbi names Hakim ibn Jabala the conqueror. Ziyad's next man Rashid ibn Amr al-Judaydi won at Qiqan, fell at al-Mayd, and Sinan, left in command, held the thaghr two years.
