CHAPTER XI

Tabâlah and Jurash

Bakr ibn-al-Haitham from az-Zuhri:—The people of Tabâlah and Jurash^[1] accepted Islam without resistance.^[2] The Prophet left them on the terms agreed upon when they became Moslems, imposing on every adult of the "People of the book"^[3] among them one dînâr, and making it a condition on them to provide the Moslem wayfarers with board and lodging. Abu-Sufyân ibn-Ḥarb was assigned by the Prophet as the governor of Jurash.
