Azerbaijan, from Hamadan to Bab al-Abwab
Imam Muhammed, the son of Djerir Atteberâni (At-Teberi) in the description of
the conquests during the reign of Omar, says that the most successful of
the Khalifs in conquest was certainly Omar the son of Khattâb: he
persecuted the infidels; overthrew (their) hosts; established the Dîvan,
and laid tributes on different kingdoms. His troops passed beyond the river Djaihoon
in the east; on the north they reached Aderbijan, Babul-Abwab and
the land of Nitdjeh, which is contiguous to the wall of Yadjudj
and Madjudj; on the south they reached Hind, Sind, Bahrain,
Ummán and Mekreman (Mekran?); and on the west they arrived
at the boundaries of Constantinople; ad all nations were in obedience to him……
He had one army in Syria, and another in Aderbijan: this country extends from
Hamadan to Babul-Abwab in length…..123
