Bukusaya

Bukusaya was a town near Bandanijin and Badraya, east of the road between Baghdad and Wasit, at the far end of the Nahrawan district. Medieval geographers connected its early settlement with the Sasanian king Kavadh, who was said to have moved weavers and barbers to this place and neighbouring Badraya. The tradition of learning associated with the town included Abbas al-Bakusai, a transmitter of hadith who died in the ninth century.
