== Geography == The Muslim geographers described Rabinjan as a town of Sughd and a dependency of Samarkand. It was one of the settlements on the Samarkand-Bukhara road, lying between Zarman to the east and Dabusiyya to the west, and was located to the south of the Sughd River. Ibn Khurradadhbih described the town as being twelve farsakhs from Samarkand and twenty-seven from Bukhara; Qudama, on the other hand, considered it to be thirteen farsakhs from Samarkand and twenty-four from Bukhara. Al-Istakhri added that it was two farsakhs from al-Kushaniya.
