ملخص الجهاز:
His first action was the conquest of Nishapur, because with Khujastani's death, Abu Talha had once again returned to this city from Jurjan and seized power there, and he still claimed the legitimacy of the Tahirid rule over Khorasan.
To consolidate his power, Rafi had to take Merv and Herat; he sent an individual named Muhammad al-Muhtadi (Muhammad bin Mahdi) to Herat to fight against Fadhil bin Yusuf, the puppet ruler of Amr al-Layth, and he himself also went to war against Abu Talha in Merv.
12 The Samanids still introduced themselves as loyal to the Tahirids to maintain appearances and sometimes provided necessary assistance by supporting their followers in Khorasan, just as before, when Abu Talha resided in Merv and delivered the khutbah in the name of the Tahirids, but since he had been defeated in the war against Amr al-Layth, he was supported by Ismail bin Ahmad Samani.
Therefore, al-Mu'tadid sent the command to rule Khorasan to Amr ibn Layth, and with this act, Rafi's vice-regency on behalf of Muhammad bin Tahir no longer held any meaning.
Therefore, with the removal of Tahirid power from Khorasan and the receipt of the command to rule this region from the Caliph, Rafi bin Layth's power was no longer very important to Amr. For this reason, with the attack of Amr ibn Layth's troops on the cities of Khorasan, Rafi's agent fled from Herat, and Amr took Herat.
According to the narration of Ibn Khaldun, during Rafi's presence in Nishapur, Abu Talha sends an agent named Muhammad bin al-Muhtadi to Herat, whom Tarikh Sistan considers to be the deputy of Rafi.
