Pushang, also known by its Arabicized form of Bushanj, Bushang, and Fūshanj, was the name of a town in Khorasan, close to Herat in present-day Afghanistan.
[2] Mus'ab's grandson Tahir ibn Husayn would later play an important role in the affairs of the Abbasid Caliphate and establish the Tahirid dynasty, which would rule Pushang and the rest of Khorasan until 873, when the Saffarid ruler Ya'qub ibn al-Layth al-Saffar wrested Khorasan from him.
[2] According to the 10th-century traveler Ibn Hawqal, the town was half the size of Herat.
[3] However, the town was later restored and is mentioned many times by the Iranian historian Hafiz-i Abru.
[2] During the early modern period, Pushang was destroyed due to land disputes between the Safavids, Uzbeks and the Afghans.
