A fact from Al-Muhallab ibn Abi Sufra appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 29 June 2019 (check views). The text of the entry was as follows:
Did you know... that al-Muhallab ibn Abi Sufra is credited with introducing iron stirrups to the warhorses of early Muslim armies?
Forgot to mention in the edit summary, the previous version of this article has been replaced by User:Al Ameer son/Muhallab. —Al Ameer (talk) 14:37, 8 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
"between the mid-640s and his death and served successive terms" recommend splitting after "death"
"against the Persians" link to the Sasanian Empire
"in Iraq and Khurasan in 683–684" add "during the Second Muslim Civil War" for context and for introducing the term
"switched allegiance to Caliph" -> "switched allegiance to the Umayyad caliph"
"Al-Hajjaj made al-Muhallab governor of Khurasan in 698 and from there, he recommenced the Arab conquests in Transoxiana, leading a two-year-long siege of the Kish fortress" recommend splitting after "698", and "fortress of Kish" is better
"in circa 632." you might want to consider using the {{circa}} template.
"from the "Azd Sarat", which was based in western Arabia" either "from the "Azd Sarat" tribe, which...", or "from the "Azd Sarat", who...
"Khurasan and Iraq ultimately came under the suzerainty of the anti-Umayyad, Mecca-based caliph, Abd Allah ibn al-Zubayr (r. 683–692)," first, use the {{reign}} template; second and optional, perhaps it might be useful to note the dependence of Khurasan from Iraq, like "Iraq, and Khurasan with it, came under...".
"at the Battle of Maskin.[20][8]" put the references in numerical order
From my knowledge of the subject, and with the EI article as a guide, it looks complete, and follows WP:SS. I don't see any major reference work or study on the period missing, apart perhaps from Kennedy's Great Arab Conquests, which has a few comments on Muhallab, especially his siege of Kish and his (and Yazid's) status among the Azd. I recommend adding him (I can send you the relevant passages).
@Al Ameer son: I've made a first pass, looks really good. I've highlighted any issues I found, and made a few suggestions, above. Cheers, Constantine ✍ 07:34, 26 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
@Cplakidas: Thanks for reviewing the article. I’ve addressed all of the aforementioned issues and have taken your helpful suggestions. I don't have full access to the Kennedy book that you've recommended, so please send those relevant passages. Cheers, —Al Ameer (talk) 02:12, 27 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
@Cplakidas: I've added the relevant material from Kennedy. Thanks again ;) Please revise any recent changes/additions as you see fit. --Al Ameer (talk) 18:16, 27 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
@Al Ameer son: Looks good, made some tweaks. Happy to pass this, well done :). Constantine ✍ 19:19, 27 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
