It is an important city with significant geographical position as it lies on the eastern bank of Jehon River "Amodarya" which is regarded as one of the greatest rivers in Khurasan.

Moreover, there were many cities and villages that follow it which reveals that it is a vast city.

It includes a number of rivers that provide Jehon river with water.

All this encouraged its economic prosperity due to agricultural, industrial, and commercial activities.

When Islam reached the city, it was able to refine it until it became an excellent Islamic city as it was integrated with the Islamic State.

This city gave birth to many Prophetic Hadith narrators and historians.
