The Year 115
ثُمَّ دَخَلَتْ سَنَةُ خَمْسَ عَشْرَةَ وَمِائَةٍ فَمِنَ الْحَوَادِثِ فِيهَا غَزْوَةُ مُعَاوِيَةَ بْنِ هِشَامٍ الرُّومَ. وَفِيهَا: وَقَعَ الطَّاعُونُ بِالشَّامِ . وَفِيهَا: أَصَابَ النَّاسَ بِخُرَاسَانَ قَحْطٌ شَدِيدٌ وَمَجَاعَةٌ، فَأَعْطَى الْجُنَيْدُ رَجُلًا دِرْهَمًا فَاشْتَرَى بِهِ رَغِيفًا، فَقَالَ: تَشْكُونَ الْجُوعَ وَرَغِيفٌ بِدِرْهَمٍ، لَقَدْ رَأَيْتُنِي بِالْهِنْدِ وَإِنَّ الْحَبَّ مِنَ الْحُبُوبِ لَتُبَاعَ عَدَدًا بِالدَّرَاهِمِ. وَفِيهَا: حَجَّ بِالنَّاسِ مُعَاوِيَةُ بْنُ هِشَامِ بْنِ إِسْمَاعِيلَ وَهُوَ أَمِيرُ مَكَّةَ وَالطَّائِفِ، وَكَانَ عُمَّالُ الْأَمْصَارِ عُمَّالَ السَّنَةِ الَّتِي قَبْلَهَا، غَيْرَ أَنَّهُ اخْتُلِفَ فِي عَامِلِ خُرَاسَانَ، فَقَالَ الْمَدَائِنِيُّ: الْجُنَيْدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، وَقَالَ غَيْرُهُ: عُمَارَةُ بْنُ خُرَيْمٍ الْمُرِّيُّ، وَإِنَّ الْجُنَيْدَ مَاتَ فِي هَذِهِ السَّنَةِ فَاسْتَخْلَفَ عُمَارَةَ. وَأَمَّا الْمَدَائِنِيُّ فَقَالَ: مَاتَ الْجُنَيْدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ فِي سَنَةِ سِتَّ عَشْرَةَ [وَمِائَةٍ]، وَهِيَ السَّنَةُ الَّتِي بَعْدَ هَذِهِ السَّنَةِ. ( وَفِيهَا غَزَا عَبْدُ الْمَلِكِ بْنُ قَطَنٍ عَامِلُ الْأَنْدَلُسِ أَرْضَ الْبَشْكَنْسِ وَعَادَ سَالِمًا ).
Translation
✧ Then the year 115 commenced. Among the events in it was the raid of Muʿāwiyah b. Hishām against the Byzantines. In it, the plague occurred in Syria. In it, severe drought and famine afflicted the people of Khurasan. Al-Junayd gave a man a dirham, and he bought a loaf of bread with it. He said: "You complain of hunger while a loaf costs a dirham? I saw myself in India when grains were sold by number for dirhams." In it, Muʿāwiyah b. Hishām b. Ismāʿīl led the people in the pilgrimage, and he was the governor of Makkah and al-Ṭāʾif. The governors of the amṣār were the governors of the previous year, except that there was disagreement about the governor of Khurasan. Al-Madāʾinī said: Al-Junayd b. ʿAbd al-Raḥmān; others said: ʿUmārah b. Khuraym al-Murrī, and that al-Junayd died in this year and appointed ʿUmārah as his successor. As for al-Madāʾinī, he said: Al-Junayd b. ʿAbd al-Raḥmān died in the year 116, which is the year after this year. (In it, ʿAbd al-Malik b. Qaṭan, the governor of al-Andalus, raided the land of the Basques and returned safely.)
