The Year 105

وِلَايَةِ خَالِدٍ الْقَسْرِيِّ الْعِرَاقَ   وفي سنة خمس ومائة عَزَلَ هِشَامٌ عُمَرَ بْنَ هُبَيْرَةَ عَنِ الْعِرَاقِ، وَاسْتَعْمَلَ خَالِدَ بْنَ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ الْقَسْرِيَّ فِي شَوَّالٍ. قَالَ عُمَرُ بْنُ يَزِيدَ بْنِ عُمَيْرٍ الْأُسَيِّدِيُّ: دَخَلْتُ عَلَى هِشَامٍ وَخَالِدٌ عِنْدَهُ، وَهُوَ يَذْكُرُ طَاعَةَ أَهْلِ الْيَمَنِ، فَقُلْتُ: وَاللَّهِ مَا رَأَيْتُ هَكَذَا خَطَأً وَخَطَلًا، وَاللَّهِ مَا فُتِحَتْ فِتْنَةٌ فِي الْإِسْلَامِ إِلَّا بِأَهْلِ الْيَمَنِ، هُمْ قَتَلُوا عُثْمَانَ، وَهُمْ خَلَعُوا عَبْدَ الْمَلِكِ، وَإِنَّ سُيُوفَنَا لَتَقْطُرُ مِنْ دِمَاءِ أَهْلِ الْمُهَلَّبِ. قَالَ: فَلَمَّا قُمْتُ تَبِعَنِي رَجُلٌ مِنْ آلِ مَرْوَانَ، فَقَالَ: يَا أَخَا بَنِي تَمِيمٍ وَرَتْ بِكَ زِنَادِي، قَدْ سَمِعْتُ مَقَالَتَكَ، وَأَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ قَدْ وَلَّى خَالِدًا الْعِرَاقَ، وَلَيْسَتْ لَكَ بِدَارٍ ! فَسَارَ خَالِدٌ إِلَى الْعِرَاقِ مِنْ يَوْمِهِ. وَقِيلَ: إِنَّهُ اسْتَعْمَلَهُ عَلَى الْعِرَاقِ فِي سَنَةِ سِتٍّ وَمِائَةٍ. وَالْمَشْهُورُ الْأَوَّلُ.

Translation

✧ The Governorship of Khālid al-Qasrī over Iraq In the year 105, Hishām dismissed ʿUmar b. Hubayrah from Iraq and appointed Khālid b. ʿAbd Allāh al-Qasrī in Shawwāl. ʿUmar b. Yazīd b. ʿUmayr al-Usayyidī said: I entered upon Hishām while Khālid was with him, and he was mentioning the obedience of the people of Yemen. I said: By God, I have not seen such error and folly. By God, no strife has ever broken out in Islam except through the people of Yemen. They killed ʿUthmān, and they deposed ʿAbd al-Malik, and indeed our swords are still dripping with the blood of the family of al-Muhallab. He said: When I rose, a man from the family of Marwān followed me and said: O brother of Banū Tamīm, my thoughts have been kindled by you. I heard your words, and the Commander of the Faithful has appointed Khālid over Iraq, and it is not a place for you! So Khālid set out for Iraq that very day. It is said that he appointed him over Iraq in the year 106. The well-known view is the former.
