اسْتِعْمَالِ مَسْلَمَةَ عَلَى الْعِرَاقِ وَخُرَاسَانَ وَلَمَّا فَرَغَ مَسْلَمَةُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْمَلِكِ مِنْ حَرْبِ يَزِيدَ بْنِ الْمُهَلَّبِ جَمَعَ لَهُ أَخُوهُ يَزِيدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْمَلِكِ وِلَايَةَ الْكُوفَةِ وَالْبَصْرَةِ وَخُرَاسَانَ، فَأَقَرَّ مُحَمَّدَ بْنَ الْوَلِيدِ عَلَى الْكُوفَةِ، وَكَانَ قَدْ قَامَ بِأَمْرِ الْبَصْرَةِ بَعْدَ آلِ الْمُهَلَّبِ شَبِيبُ بْنُ الْحَارِثِ التَّمِيمِيُّ، فَبَعَثَ عَلَيْهَا مَسْلَمَةُ عَبْدَ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنَ سُلَيْمَانَ الْكَلْبِيَّ، وَعَلَى شُرْطَتِهَا وَأَحْدَاثِهَا عَمْرَو بْنَ يَزِيدَ التَّمِيمِيَّ، فَأَرَادَ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ أَنْ يَسْتَعْرِضَ أَهْلَ الْبَصْرَةِ فَيَقْتُلَهُمْ، فَنَهَاهُ عَمْرٌو وَاسْتَمْهَلَهُ عَشَرَةَ أَيَّامٍ وَكَتَبَ إِلَى مَسْلَمَةَ بِالْخَبَرِ، فَعَزَلَهُ وَوَلَّى الْبَصْرَةَ عَبْدَ الْمَلِكِ بْنَ بِشْرِ بْنِ مَرْوَانَ، وَأَقَرَّ عَمْرَو بْنَ يَزِيدَ عَلَى الشُّرَطِ وَالْأَحْدَاثِ. وَبَعَثَ عَلَى خُرَاسَانَ خَتَنَهُ زَوْجَ ابْنَتِهِ سَعِيدَ بْنَ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ بْنِ الْحَارِثِ بْنِ الْحَكَمِ بْنِ أَبِي الْعاصِ، الْمُلَقَّبِ بِخُذَيْنَةَ، فَسَارَ إِلَيْهَا فَحَرَّضَ أَهْلَهَا عَلَى الصَّبْرِ وَالشَّجَاعَةِ، وَعَاقَبَ عُمَّالًا مِمَّنْ كَانَ يَنُوبُ لِيَزِيدَ بْنِ الْمُهَلَّبِ، وَأَخَذَ مِنْهُمْ أَمْوَالًا جَزِيلَةً، وَمَاتَ بَعْضُهُمْ تَحْتَ الْعُقُوبَةِ.
Translation
✧ Appointing Maslama over Iraq and Khurasan When Maslama b. ʿAbd al-Malik had finished the war against Yazīd b. al-Muhallab, his brother Yazīd b. ʿAbd al-Malik combined for him the governorship of al-Kūfa, al-Baṣra, and Khurāsān. He confirmed Muḥammad b. al-Walīd over al-Kūfa. After the family of al-Muhallab, Shabīb b. al-Ḥārith al-Tamīmī had taken charge of the affairs of al-Baṣra. Maslama sent over it ʿAbd al-Raḥmān b. Sulaymān al-Kalbī, and over its shurṭa and aḥdāth he appointed ʿAmr b. Yazīd al-Tamīmī. ʿAbd al-Raḥmān wanted to make a general massacre of the people of al-Baṣra and kill them, but ʿAmr forbade him and asked him to wait ten days, then wrote to Maslama with the news. Maslama dismissed him and appointed ʿAbd al-Malik b. Bishr b. Marwān over al-Baṣra, and confirmed ʿAmr b. Yazīd over the shurṭa and aḥdāth. Over Khurāsān he sent his son-in-law, the husband of his daughter, Saʿīd b. ʿAbd al-ʿAzīz b. al-Ḥārith b. al-Ḥakam b. Abī al-ʿĀṣ, nicknamed Khudhayna. He went there and urged its people to patience and bravery, punished officials who had acted as deputies for Yazīd b. al-Muhallab, and took from them abundant wealth; some of them died under punishment.
