The Year 100 of the Prophetic Hijrah
وَفِي سنة مائة من الهجرة كَتَبَ عُمَرُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ إِلَى مُلُوكِ السِّنْدِ يَدْعُوهُمْ إِلَى الْإِسْلَامِ عَلَى أَنْ يُمَلِّكَهُمْ بِلَادَهُمْ، وَلَهُمْ مَا لِلْمُسْلِمِينَ وَعَلَيْهِمْ مَا عَلَى الْمُسْلِمِينَ، وَقَدْ كَانَتْ سِيرَتُهُ بِلَغَتْهُمْ، فَأَسْلَمَ جَيْشَبَهْ بْنُ ذَاهِرَ، وَالْمُلُوكُ تَسَمَّوْا لَهُ بِأَسْمَاءِ الْعَرَبِ، وَكَانَ عُمَرُ قَدِ اسْتَعْمَلَ عَلَى ذَلِكَ الثَّغْرِ عَمْرُو بْنُ مُسْلِمٍ أَخَا قُتَيْبَةَ بْنِ مُسْلِمٍ، فَغَزَا بَعْضَ الْهِنْدِ، فَظَفِرَ وَبَقِيَ مُلُوكُ السِّنْدِ مُسْلِمِينَ عَلَى بِلَادِهِمْ أَيَّامَ عُمَرَ وَيَزِيدَ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْمَلِكِ، فَلَمَّا كَانَ أَيَّامَ هِشَامٍ ارْتَدُوا عَنِ الْإِسْلَامِ، وَكَانَ سَبَبُهُ مَا نَذْكُرُهُ إِنْ شَاءَ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى.
Translation
✧ In the year one hundred of the Hijrah, ʿUmar b. ʿAbd al-ʿAzīz wrote to the kings of al-Sind, summoning them to Islam on condition that he would make them rulers of their lands, and that they would have what the Muslims have and be subject to what the Muslims are subject to. His conduct had already reached them, so Jayshabah b. Dhāhir embraced Islam, and the kings adopted Arabic names for him. ʿUmar had appointed over that frontier ʿAmr b. Muslim, the brother of Qutaybah b. Muslim, who raided part of India and was victorious. The kings of al-Sind remained Muslims ruling their lands during the days of ʿUmar and Yazīd b. ʿAbd al-Malik. When the days of Hishām came, they apostatized from Islam, the reason for which we shall mention, if God Almighty wills.
