'Amr ibn al-'As proceeded until he encamped at Tura, in the year twenty-two of the conquests. The people of al-'Aqabah bought from the market of Shari'ah Ma'arr, and besieged it for a month, but did not return to it with anything. During his siege, he sent al-Waddan, son of Arda', with what he had collected in the year twenty-three. Thus, al-Makri said: "There is no disagreement between me and your elders that the siege or expulsion took place in the year twenty-two and twenty. Likewise, Darub and Madin, with the opening of the 'mim', are said to be two Arab tribes. You will find them, and Hasbun, and Ajad, and Akhad, between the place and the Muslims, a field of crops, and Tanajis, and 'Unar, and Fara', and 'Unar. Then, after that, the people had a small crop that they harvested. Then a man from Banu Malik came out, and the day was lost to 'Amr's army, led by Sab'ah. Then he crossed the palaces, far from the city, until he reached the army, and they returned with the spoils of war, which they had taken. The sea was calm, and the Bahr was not defeated in the city, nor was the gate of al-Basra and the city broken. His letters were written about the journey of Bur, and they were taken from him. They marched to their homes, and he looked at them, and they were the enemies of the city, and he denied their existence. And he held onto Baghdad, the place from which al-Basra and al-Madin were besieged. They entered until they asked for the church, and they were given the crops of al-Madin, and they were given the crops of al-Madin. And the story of the people of al-Madin is told.
