Governor of Sindh
Al-Hakam ibn Awana built a city on the eastern borders of a lake, which he named Mahfuza, “the guarded. He made this a place of refuge for the Musalman, established it as the capital, and resided in it. Al-Hakam ibn Awana entrusted Amr ibn Muhammad ibn al-qasim al Thaqafi with an expedition beyond Mahfuz, from which he returned victorious; and when ’Amr ibn Muhammad ibn al-qasim al Thaqafi was, in his turn, nominated governor, he founded a city “on this side the lake, which he called Mansurah, ‘the victorious,’ and which is now,” adds Baladhuri{, “ the capital, where the governors reside.”[4][5]
