ذِكْرُ خِلَافِ أَهْلِ فِلَسْطِينَ وَفِيهَا خَرَجَ ثَابِتُ بْنُ نُعَيْمٍ بَعْدَ أَهْلِ حِمْصَ وَالْغُوطَةِ، وَكَانَ خُرُوجُهُ فِي أَهْلِ فِلَسْطِينَ، وَانْتَقَضَ عَلَى مَرْوَانَ أَيْضًا، وَأَتَى طَبَرِيَّةَ فَحَاصَرَهَا وَعَلَيْهَا الْوَلِيدُ بْنُ مُعَاوِيَةَ بْنِ مَرْوَانَ بْنِ الْحَكَمِ ابْنِ أَخِي عَبْدِ الْمَلِكِ، فَقَاتَلَهُ أَهْلُهَا أَيَّامًا. فَكَتَبَ مَرْوَانُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ إِلَى أَبِي الْوَرْدِ يَأْمُرُهُ بِالْمَسِيرِ إِلَيْهِمْ، فَسَارَ إِلَيْهِمْ، فَلَمَّا قَرُبَ مِنْهُمْ خَرَجَ أَهْلُ طَبَرِيَّةَ عَلَى ثَابِتٍ فَهَزَمُوهُ وَاسْتَبَاحُوا عَسْكَرَهُ، وَانْصَرَفَ إِلَى فِلَسْطِينَ مُنْهَزِمًا، وَتَبِعَهُ أَبُو الْوَرْدِ فَالْتَقَوْا وَاقْتَتَلُوا، فَهَزَمَهُ أَبُو الْوَرْدِ ثَانِيَةً وَتَفَرَّقَ أَصْحَابُهُ وَأَسَرَ ثَلَاثَةً مِنْ أَوْلَادِهِ وَبَعَثَ بِهِمْ إِلَى مَرْوَانَ، وَتَغَيَّبَ ثَابِتٌ وَوَلَدُهُ رِفَاعَةُ. وَاسْتَعْمَلَ مَرْوَانُ عَلَى فِلَسْطِينَ الرُّمَاحِسَ بْنَ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ الْكِنَانِيَّ، فَظَفِرَ بِثَابِتٍ وَبَعَثَهُ إِلَى مَرْوَانَ مُوثَقًا بَعْدَ شَهْرَيْنِ، فَأَمَرَ بِهِ وَبِأَوْلَادِهِ الثَّلَاثَةِ فَقُطِعَتْ أَيْدِيهِمْ وَأَرْجُلُهُمْ وَحُمِلُوا إِلَى دِمَشْقَ فَأُلْقُوا عَلَى بَابِ الْمَسْجِدِ، ثُمَّ صَلَبَهُمْ عَلَى أَبْوَابِ دِمَشْقَ. وَكَانَ مَرْوَانُ بِدَيْرِ أَيُّوبَ فَبَايَعَ لِابْنَيْهِ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ وَعَبْدِ اللَّهِ وَزَوَّجَهُمَا ابْنَتَيْ هِشَامِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْمَلِكِ وَجَمَعَ كَذَلِكَ بَنِي أُمَيَّةَ، وَاسْتَقَامَ لَهُ الشَّامُ مَا خَلَا تَدْمُرَ، فَسَارَ إِلَيْهَا فَنَزَلَ الْقَسْطَلَ، وَبَيْنَهُ وَبَيْنَ تَدْمُرَ أَيَّامٌ، وَكَانُوا قَدْ عَوَّرُوا الْمِيَاهَ، فَاسْتَعْمَلَ الْمَزَادَ وَالْقِرَبَ وَالْإِبِلَ، وَكَلَّمَهُ الْأَبْرَشُ بْنُ الْوَلِيدِ وَسُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ هِشَامٍ وَغَيْرُهُمَا، وَسَأَلُوهُ أَنْ يُرْسِلَ إِلَيْهِمْ، فَأَذِنَ لَهُمْ فِي ذَلِكَ، وَسَارَ الْأَبْرَشُ وَخَوَّفَهُمْ وَحَذَّرَهُمْ، فَأَجَابُوا إِلَى الطَّاعَةِ، وَهَرَبَ نَفَرٌ مِنْهُمْ إِلَى الْبَرِّ مِمَّنْ لَمْ يَثِقْ بِمَرْوَانَ، وَرَجَعَ الْأَبْرَشُ إِلَى مَرْوَانَ وَمَعَهُ مَنْ أَطَاعَ بَعْدَ أَنْ هَدَمَ سُورَهَا. وَكَانَ مَرْوَانُ قَدْ سَيَّرَ يَزِيدَ بْنَ عُمَرَ بْنِ هُبَيْرَةَ بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ إِلَى الْعِرَاقِ لِقِتَالِ الضَّحَّاكِ الْخَارِجِيِّ، وَضَرَبَ عَلَى أَهْلِ الشَّامِ بَعْثًا وَأَمَرَهُمْ بِاللَّحَاقِ بِيَزِيدَ، وَسَارَ مَرْوَانُ إِلَى الرُّصَافَةِ، فَاسْتَأْذَنَهُ سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ هِشَامٍ لِيُقِيمَ أَيَّامًا لِيَقْوَى مَنْ مَعَهُ وَيَسْتَرِيحَ ظَهْرُهُ. فَأَذِنَ لَهُ، وَتَقَدَّمَ مَرْوَانُ إِلَى قَرْقِيسِيَا وَبِهَا ابْنُ هُبَيْرَةَ لِيُقَدِّمَهُ إِلَى الضَّحَّاكِ، فَرَجَعَ عَشَرَةُ آلَافٍ مِمَّنْ كَانَ قَدْ أَخَذَهُ مِنْ أَهْلِ الشَّامِ لِقِتَالِ الضَّحَّاكِ، فَأَقَامُوا بِالرُّصَافَةِ وَدَعَوْا سُلَيْمَانَ إِلَى خَلْعِ مَرْوَانَ، فَأَجَابَهُمْ.

✧ Mention of the rebellion of the people of Palestine In this year Thābit b. Nuʿaym rose up after the people of Ḥimṣ and the Ghūṭa. His rising was among the people of Palestine, and he also revolted against Marwān. He came to Tiberias and besieged it. Al-Walīd b. Muʿāwiya b. Marwān b. al-Ḥakam, the nephew of ʿAbd al-Malik, was over it. Its people fought him for some days. Marwān b. Muḥammad wrote to Abū al-Ward, ordering him to march against them. So he marched against them. When he drew near them, the people of Tiberias came out against Thābit and routed him and plundered his camp. He withdrew to Palestine in defeat. Abū al-Ward pursued him. They met and fought, and Abū al-Ward routed him a second time, and his companions dispersed. He captured three of his sons and sent them to Marwān. Thābit and his son Rifāʿa went into hiding. Marwān appointed al-Rumāḥis b. ʿAbd al-ʿAzīz al-Kinānī over Palestine. He captured Thābit and sent him to Marwān in bonds after two months. He ordered that he and his three sons have their hands and feet cut off, and they were carried to Damascus and thrown at the gate of the mosque. Then he crucified them at the gates of Damascus. Marwān was at Dayr Ayyūb. He received the oath of allegiance for his two sons ʿUbayd Allāh and ʿAbd Allāh and married them to the two daughters of Hishām b. ʿAbd al-Malik, and he likewise gathered the Umayyads. Syria became settled for him except for Tadmur. He marched to it and encamped at al-Qasṭal. Between him and Tadmur there were several days' journey. They had spoiled the water sources, so he employed water skins, waterskins, and camels. Al-Abrash b. al-Walīd, Sulaymān b. Hishām, and others spoke to him and asked him to send to them. He permitted them that. Al-Abrash went and made them fear and warned them. They answered with obedience. A group of them who did not trust Marwān fled to the desert. Al-Abrash returned to Marwān with those who had obeyed after he had demolished its wall. Marwān had sent Yazīd b. ʿUmar b. Hubayra ahead of him to Iraq to fight al-Ḍaḥḥāk the Khārijite. He levied an expedition on the people of Syria and ordered them to join Yazīd. Marwān marched to al-Ruṣāfa. Sulaymān b. Hishām asked his permission to stay for some days so that those with him could gain strength and his mount could rest. He permitted him. Marwān advanced to Qarqīsiyā, where Ibn Hubayra was, to send him forward against al-Ḍaḥḥāk. Then ten thousand of those he had taken from the people of Syria to fight al-Ḍaḥḥāk returned and stayed at al-Ruṣāfa and called on Sulaymān to renounce Marwān. He answered them.
