حصن الزينبدي

حصن الزينبدي

Rayy's fortress above the town, called Hisn al-Furkhan ibn al-Zaynabi, formerly 'Arin; its lord Ibn al-Zaynabi made the treaty with Urwa ibn Zayd for Rayy and Qumis — five hundred thousand dirhams, no killing, no captives, no fire-temple razed, kharaj on Nihawand's terms — and Rayy's governors dwelt there gathering at the mosque beside it; it fell inside al-Mahdi's al-Muhammadiyya, he ordered its repair and lodged there overlooking the mosque and palace, and it was afterwards made a prison; al-Fatammash's verse curses its keep.
