The Sassanian king Yezdegard was the last who used the name Khurasan where he was seek to find companians to fight the Arabs. Abu Muslim Khurasani was the men who threw the Arabs out of modern Afghanistan and most of central asia. But the arabs became vasalls of the persian Saffarids who pushed them to modern Pakistan and India where they became governeurs and the new rulers.
