85.24

قال محمد بن يحيى: فحدثني منصور بن حاتم النحوي مولى آل خالد بن أسيد أنه رأى الدقل الذي كان على منارة البد مكسورا، وأن عنبسة بن إسحاق الضبي العامل كان على السند في خلافة المعتصم بالله رحمه الله هدم أعلى تلك المنارة وجعل فيها سجنا وابتدأ في مرمة المدينة بما نقض من حجارة تلك المناورة فعزل قبل استتمام ذلك، وولى بعده هارون بن أبى خالد المرور وذى فقتل بها.

Muhammad, son of Yahya, says that Mansur, the son of Hatim, the grammarian, a freeman of the family of Khalid, son of Assaid, relates that he had seen the pole broken into fragments which had been placed on the steeple of the temple. 'Ambissa son of Ishak Az Zabbi, the governor of Sind, in the Khalifat of Mu'tasim billah, knocked down the upper part of the minaret of the temple and converted it into a prison. At the same time he began to repair the ruined town with the stones of the minaret; but before he had completed his labours, he was deprived of his employment, and was succeeded by Harun, son of Abi Khalid-al Maruruzi, and he was slain there.
