ذِكْرُ مَنْ تُوُفِّيَ فِي سنة ست وتسعين مِنَ الْأَكَابِرِ قرة بن شريك القيسي وَفِي سنة ست وتسعين تُوُفِّيَ قُرَّةُ بْنُ شَرِيكٍ الْقَيْسِيُّ أَمِيرُ مِصْرَ مِنْ جِهَةِ الْوَلِيدِ. فِي صَفَرٍ، وَقِيلَ: مَاتَ سَنَةَ خَمْسٍ وَتِسْعِينَ فِي الشَّهْرِ الَّذِي مَاتَ فِيهِ الْحَجَّاجُ. وَفِيهَا مَاتَ شُرَيْحٌ الْقَاضِي، وَقِيلَ سَنَةَ سَبْعٍ وَتِسْعِينَ، وَلَهُ مِائَةٌ وَعِشْرُونَ سَنَةٌ. وَفِيهَا مَاتَ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ أَبِي بَكْرَةَ. وَمَحْمُودُ بْنُ لَبِيدٍ الْأَنْصَارِيُّ، وَلَهُ صُحْبَةٌ. إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ يَزِيدَ بْنِ الْأَسْوَدِ، أَبُو عِمْرَانَ النَّخَعِيُّ إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ يَزِيدَ بْنِ الْأَسْوَدِ، أَبُو عِمْرَانَ النَّخَعِيُّ : كَانَ إِمَامًا فِي الْفِقْهِ، يُعَظِّمُهُ الْأَكَابِرُ، وَكَانَ سَعِيدُ بْنُ جُبَيْرٍ يَقُولُ: أَتَسْتَفْتُونِي وَفِيكُمْ إِبْرَاهِيمُ. وَكَانَ شَدِيدَ الْهَيْبَةِ، يُهَابُ كَمَا يُهَابُ الْأَمِيرُ، وَكَانَ يَتَخَوَّفُ مِنَ الْفَتْوَى وَيَحْتَقِرُ نَفْسَهُ وَيَقُولُ: احْتِيجَ إِلَيَّ. وَيَكْرَهُ أَنْ يَسْتَنِدَ إِلَى السَّارِيَةِ، وَلَا يَتَكَلَّمُ حَتَّى يُسْأَلَ وَحَمَلَ النَّاسُ عَنْهُ الْعِلْمَ وَهُوَ ابْنُ ثَمَانِي عَشْرَةَ سَنَةً. وَكَانَ يَصُومُ يَوْمًا وَيُفْطِرُ يَوْمًا. عن مُحَمَّدَ بْنَ مُسْلِمٍ الزُّهْرِيَّ، قال: قَدِمْتُ عَلَى عَبْدِ الْمَلِكِ بْنِ مَرْوَانَ، فَقَالَ لِي: مِنْ أَيْنَ [قَدِمْتَ] يَا زُهْرِيُّ؟ قُلْتُ: مِنْ مَكَّةَ، فَقَالَ: مَنْ خَلَّفْتَ بِهَا يَسُودُ أَهْلَهَا؟ قُلْتُ: عَطَاءُ بْنُ أَبِي رَبَاحٍ، قَالَ: فَمِنَ الْعَرَبِ أَمْ مِنَ الْمَوَالِي؟ قُلْتُ: مِنَ الْمَوَالِي، قَالَ: وَبِمَ سَادَهُمْ؟ قُلْتُ: بِالدِّيَانَةِ وَالرِّوَايَةِ، قَالَ: إِنَّ أَهْلَ الدِّيَانَةِ وَالرِّوَايَةِ لَيَنْبَغِي أَنْ يَسُودُوا، فَمَنْ يَسُودُ أَهْلَ الْيَمَنِ؟ قُلْتُ: طَاوُسُ بْنُ كَيْسَانَ، قَالَ: مِنَ الْعَرَبِ أَمْ مِنَ الْمَوَالِي؟ قُلْتُ: مِنَ الْمَوَالِي، قَالَ: وَبِمَ سَادَهُمْ؟ قُلْتُ: بِمَا سَادَهُمْ بِهِ عَطَاءٌ، قَالَ: إِنَّهُ لَيَنْبَغِي. قَالَ: فَمَنْ يَسُودُ أَهْلَ مِصْرَ؟ قُلْتُ: يَزِيدُ بْنُ أَبِي حَبِيبٍ، قَالَ: فَمِنَ الْعَرَبِ أَمْ مِنَ الْمَوَالِي؟ قُلْتُ: مِنَ الْمَوَالِي، [عَبْدٌ نُوبِيٌّ أَعْتَقَتْهُ امْرَأَةٌ مِنْ هُذَيْلٍ]، قَالَ: فَمَنْ يَسُودُ أَهْلَ الْجَزِيرَةِ؟ قُلْتُ: مَيْمُونُ بْنُ مِهْرَانَ، قَالَ: فَمِنَ الْعَرَبِ أَمْ مِنَ الْمَوَالِي؟ قُلْتُ: مِنَ الْمَوَالِي، قَالَ: فَمَنْ يَسُودُ أَهْلَ الْبَصْرَةِ؟ قُلْتُ: الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ أَبِي الْحَسَنِ، قَالَ: فَمِنَ الْعَرَبِ أَمْ مِنَ الْمَوَالِي؟ قُلْتُ: مِنَ الْمَوَالِي، قَالَ: وَيْلَكَ، فَمَنْ يَسُودُ أَهْلَ الْكُوفَةِ؟ قُلْتُ: إِبْرَاهِيمُ النَّخَعِيُّ، قَالَ: فَمِنَ الْعَرَبِ أَمْ مِنَ الْمَوَالِي؟ قُلْتُ: مِنَ الْعَرَبِ، قَالَ: وَيْلَكَ يَا زُهْرِيُّ، فَرَّجْتَ عَنِّي، وَاللَّهِ لَيَسُودَنَّ الْمَوَالِي عَلَى الْعَرَبِ حَتَّى يُخْطَبَ لَهَا عَلَى الْمَنَابِرِ وَالْعَرَبُ تَحْتَهَا، قُلْتُ: يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ، إِنَّمَا هُوَ أَمْرُ اللَّهِ وَدِينُهُ، فَمَنْ حَفِظَهُ سَادَ، وَمَنْ ضَيَّعَهُ سَقَطَ. وعَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ أَنَّهُ قَالَ: قَدْ تَكَلَّمْتُ وَلَوْ وَجَدْتُ بُدًّا مَا تَكَلَّمْتُ، وَإِنَّ زَمَانًا أَكُونُ فِيهِ فَقِيهَ الْكُوفَةِ لَزَمَانُ سُوءٍ. عن الْأَعْمَشُ، قَالَ: خَرَجْتُ أَنَا وَإِبْرَاهِيمُ النَّخَعِيُّ وَنَحْنُ نُرِيدُ الْجَامِعَ، فَلَمَّا صِرْنَا فِي خِلَالِ طُرُقَاتِ الْكُوفَةِ قَالَ لِي: يَا سُلَيْمَانُ، قُلْتُ: لَبَّيْكَ، قَالَ: هَلْ لَكَ أَنْ تَأْخُذَ فِي خِلَالِ طُرُقَاتِ الْكُوفَةِ كَيْ لَا نَمُرَّ بِسُفَهَائِهَا فَيَنْظُرُونَ إِلَى أَعْوَرَ وَأَعْمَشَ فَيَغْتَابُونَا وَيَأْثَمُونَ؟ قُلْتُ: يَا أَبَا عِمْرَانَ، وَمَا عَلَيْكَ فِي أَنْ نُؤْجَرَ وَيَأْثَمُونَ؟ قَالَ: يَا سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ، بَلْ نَسْلَمُ وَيَسْلَمُونَ خَيْرٌ مِنْ أَنْ نُؤْجَرَ وَيَأْثَمُونَ. عَنْ عِمْرَانَ الْخَيَّاطِ، قَالَ: دَخَلْنَا عَلَى إِبْرَاهِيمَ النَّخَعِيِّ نَعُودُهُ وَهُوَ يَبْكِي، فَقُلْنَا: مَا يُبْكِيكَ؟ قَالَ: أَنْتَظِرُ مَلَكَ الْمَوْتِ، لَا أَدْرِي يُبَشِّرُنِي بِالْجَنَّةِ أَمْ بِالنَّارِ. أَدْرَكَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ النَّخَعِيُّ أَبَا سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيَّ، وَعَائِشَةَ، وَعَامَّةُ مَا يَرْوِي عَنِ التَّابِعِينَ كَعَلْقَمَةَ، وَمَسْرُوقٍ، وَالْأَسْوَدِ. وَتُوُفِّيَ هَذِهِ السَّنَةَ وَهُوَ ابْنُ تِسْعٍ وَأَرْبَعِينَ سَنَةً. وَقِيلَ: ابْنُ نَيِّفٍ وَخَمْسِينَ سَنَةً. وَكَانَ الشَّعْبِيُّ يَقُولُ: وَاللَّهِ مَا تَرَكَ بَعْدَهُ مِثْلَهُ. عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عَمْرِو بْنِ عُثْمَانَ بْنِ عَفَّانَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عَمْرِو بْنِ عُثْمَانَ بْنِ عَفَّانَ: أُمُّهُ حَفْصَةُ بِنْتُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ بْنِ الْخَطَّابِ، تُوُفِّيَ بِمِصْرَ فِي هَذِهِ السَّنَةِ. وَهَذَا الرَّجُلُ تَزَوَّجَ إِلَيْهِ أَرْبَعَةٌ مِنَ الْخُلَفَاءِ، كَانَ لَهُ بِنْتٌ اسْمُهَا عَبْدَةُ تَزَوَّجَهَا الْوَلِيدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْمَلِكِ، وَبِنْتٌ تُكَنَّى أُمَّ سَعِيدٍ تَزَوَّجَهَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْمَلِكِ، وَرُقَيَّةُ تَزَوَّجَهَا هِشَامُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْمَلِكِ، وَبِنْتٌ اسْمُهَا عَائِشَةُ تَزَوَّجَهَا سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْمَلِكِ.
Translation
✧ Mention of the notables who died in the year ninety-six: Qurrah b. Sharīk al-Qaysī. In the year ninety-six, Qurrah b. Sharīk al-Qaysī, governor of Egypt on behalf of al-Walīd, died in Ṣafar. It is also said he died in the year ninety-five, in the same month in which al-Ḥajjāj died. In that year Shurayḥ the judge died—though it is also said in the year ninety-seven—at the age of one hundred and twenty. In that year ʿAbd al-Raḥmān b. Abī Bakrah died. And Maḥmūd b. Labīd al-Anṣārī, a Companion. Ibrāhīm b. Yazīd b. al-Aswad, Abū ʿImrān al-Nakhaʿī: He was an imam in jurisprudence, whom the notables held in high esteem. Saʿīd b. Jubayr used to say: "Do you ask me for legal opinions while Ibrāhīm is among you?" He inspired great awe, being held in awe as a ruler is held in awe. He dreaded giving legal opinions, despised himself, and said: "I have become needed." He disliked leaning against a pillar and would not speak until he was asked. People took knowledge from him when he was eighteen. He fasted one day and broke his fast the next. From Muḥammad b. Muslim al-Zuhrī, who said: I came to ʿAbd al-Malik b. Marwān, and he said to me: "Where have you come from, O Zuhrī?" I said: "From Makkah." He said: "Whom did you leave there leading its people?" I said: "ʿAṭāʾ b. Abī Rabāḥ." He said: "From the Arabs or from the mawālī?" I said: "From the mawālī." He said: "By what does he lead them?" I said: "By piety and transmission." He said: "Indeed, the people of piety and transmission deserve to lead. So who leads the people of Yemen?" I said: "Ṭāwūs b. Kaysān." He said: "From the Arabs or from the mawālī?" I said: "From the mawālī." He said: "By what does he lead them?" I said: "By the same as ʿAṭāʾ leads them." He said: "That is fitting." He said: "So who leads the people of Egypt?" I said: "Yazīd b. Abī Ḥabīb." He said: "From the Arabs or from the mawālī?" I said: "From the mawālī, a Nubian slave freed by a woman of Hudhayl." He said: "So who leads the people of the Jazīrah?" I said: "Maymūn b. Mihrān." He said: "From the Arabs or from the mawālī?" I said: "From the mawālī." He said: "So who leads the people of Baṣrah?" I said: "Al-Ḥusayn b. Abī al-Ḥasan." He said: "From the Arabs or from the mawālī?" I said: "From the mawālī." He said: "Woe to you! So who leads the people of Kūfah?" I said: "Ibrāhīm al-Nakhaʿī." He said: "From the Arabs or from the mawālī?" I said: "From the Arabs." He said: "Woe to you, O Zuhrī! You have relieved me. By God, the mawālī will indeed lead the Arabs until sermons are delivered for them from the pulpits while the Arabs are beneath them." I said: "O Commander of the Faithful, it is but the command of God and His religion. Whoever preserves it leads, and whoever neglects it falls." From Ibrāhīm, who said: "I have spoken, and had I found any alternative I would not have spoken. Indeed, a time in which I am the jurist of Kūfah is an evil time." From al-Aʿmash, who said: Ibrāhīm al-Nakhaʿī and I went out intending to go to the congregational mosque. When we came to the winding streets of Kūfah, he said to me: "O Sulaymān." I said: "At your service." He said: "Would you like us to take the winding streets of Kūfah so that we do not pass by its fools, who would look at a one-eyed man and a bleary-eyed man and backbite us, thus sinning?" I said: "O Abū ʿImrān, what harm is it to you if we are rewarded and they sin?" He said: "Glory be to God! Rather, that we and they remain safe is better than that we are rewarded and they sin." From ʿImrān the tailor, who said: We entered upon Ibrāhīm al-Nakhaʿī to visit him in his illness while he was weeping. We said: "What makes you weep?" He said: "I await the Angel of Death, not knowing whether he will give me glad tidings of Paradise or of Hell." Ibrāhīm al-Nakhaʿī met Abū Saʿīd al-Khudrī and ʿĀʾishah, and most of what he narrates is from the Successors such as ʿAlqamah, Masrūq, and al-Aswad. He died in this year at the age of forty-nine—though it is also said he was a little over fifty. Al-Shaʿbī used to say: "By God, he left behind no one like him." ʿAbd Allāh b. ʿAmr b. ʿUthmān b. ʿAffān: His mother was Ḥafṣah bt. ʿAbd Allāh b. ʿUmar b. al-Khaṭṭāb. He died in Egypt in this year. To this man four caliphs gave daughters in marriage. He had a daughter named ʿAbdah whom al-Walīd b. ʿAbd al-Malik married; a daughter called Umm Saʿīd whom Yazīd b. ʿAbd al-Malik married; Ruqayyah whom Hishām b. ʿAbd al-Malik married; and a daughter named ʿĀʾishah whom Sulaymān b. ʿAbd al-Malik married.
