18.8
It is related by Abdur Rahman son of Abdullah Salfi, who said that he had heard it from Abdur Razak son of Salmah, that when Rashid son of Umar came to Sind, he managed to get tribute (for the Khalifah), from (the dwellers on the) mountain of Biyeh, and he went to Kikanan, and secured the tribute for the past years as well as for the current year. He also procured many spoils and slaves from the rebellious and refractory people. After one year he returned thence, and travelling via Sistan, he came to the mountains of Mauzar and Bharj. The natives of that mountainous country mustered about 50,000 men in order to stop him on his way. A bloody battle ensued which lasted from the time of morning prayers to that of afternoon prayers.
