The Conquest of Barqa and Nubia. Ibn 'Abd al-Hakam said: - 'Amru b. al-'As sent Nafi' 'Abd al-Qays al-Fihri, who was a uterine brother to 'As b. al-Wa'il. Their horsemen invaded Nubia, (dividing themselves into) groups (tawa'if), like the raiding groups of the Rum. These raids continued until b. Abi Sarh was appointed governor after him. He made a peace agreement with the Nuba in the year 31 H. (652 A.D.), on the condition that they pay, every year, 360 slaves to the Moslems and 40 slaves to the governor of the country. (Bulaq, p. 68). In the year 674 H. (1275 A.D.) the Sultan sent an army against Nubia and Dongola and was victorious. The king of Nubia was taken prisoner and sent to al-Halik az-Zahir and a tribute was laid on the people of Dongola - Praise be to God! The first expedition against Nubia, says adh-Dhahabi, took place in the year 31 H. (652 A.D.), when it was attacked by 'Abdalla b. Abi Sarh at the head of 5,000 horsemen. He did not conquer it, but concluded a peace agreement and returned. Nubia was invaded again in the time of Hisham (684 - 705 A.D.), but unsuccessfully. Tekin az-Zanki next invaded it under the reign of al-Mansur; then Kafur al-Ikhshidi, and later on Nasir ad-Dawla b. Hamdan and finally Turanshah, brother of Saladin, in the year 568 H. (1172 A.D.); but Nubia was never conquered until this year (674 H. = 1275/1276 A.D.). About this expedition (of 674 H.), Ibn az-Zahir said: 'This is a victory, unheard of, neither from eye-witnesses, nor from declarations (of others). (Jarret, p. 507).
