 they say among us is marbah alashram the servant of abu bahr alqaid who had come from the levant during the days of qutaybah ibn muslim. it was not desirable to meet him and his affair was wellknown.
ويقولون ومنا مربح الأشرم، غلام أبى بحر القائد، الذي كان قدم من الشام أيام قتيبة بن مسلم، وكان لا يرام لقاؤه، وأمره مشهور.
