“ Muḥammad ibn-Saʿd from al-Wâḳidi and others:—The Moslems occupied Rhodes for seven years, living in a fort made for them. At the death of Muʿâwiyah, Yazîd wrote to Junâdah ordering him to destroy the fort and return. Muʿâwiyah used to alternate its occupants, making them live there in turns. Mujâhid ibn-Jabr [5] lived in it and taught the Koran. Arwâd. In the year 54, Junâdah ibn-abi-Umaiyah reduced Arwâd, [6] and Muʿâwiyah made the Moslems settle in it. Among those who took part in conquering it was Mujâhid and Tubaiʿ, [7] a son of Kaʿb al-Aḥbâr's [8] wife. ”
