Then the Year 129 AH Began
ثُمَّ دَخَلَتْ سَنَةُ تِسْعٍ وَعِشْرِينَ وَمِائَةٍ ذِكْرُ شَيْبَانَ الْحَرُورِيِّ إِلَى أَنْ قُتِلَ وَهُوَ شَيْبَانُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ أَبُو الدُّلَفِ الْيَشْكُرِيُّ. وَكَانَ سَبَبُ هَلَاكِهِ أَنَّ الْخَوَارِجَ لَمَّا بَايَعُوهُ بَعْدَ قَتْلِ الْخَيْبَرِيِّ أَقَامَ يُقَاتِلُ مَرْوَانَ، وَتَفَرَّقَ عَنْ شَيْبَانَ كَثِيرٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ الطَّمَعِ، فَبَقِيَ فِي نَحْوِ أَرْبَعِينَ أَلْفًا، فَأَشَارَ عَلَيْهِمْ سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ هِشَامٍ أَنْ يَنْصَرِفُوا إِلَى الْمَوْصِلِ فَيَجْعَلُوهَا ظَهْرَهُمْ، فَارْتَحَلُوا وَتَبِعَهُمْ مَرْوَانُ حَتَّى انْتَهَوْا إِلَى الْمَوْصِلِ، فَعَسْكَرُوا شَرْقِيَّ دِجْلَةَ وَعَقَدُوا جُسُورًا عَلَيْهَا مِنْ عَسْكَرِهِمْ إِلَى الْمَدِينَةِ، فَكَانَتْ مِيرَتُهُمْ وَمَرَافِقُهُمْ مِنْهَا، وَخَنْدَقَ مَرْوَانُ بِإِزَائِهِمْ، وَكَانَ الْخَوَارِجُ قَدْ نَزَلُوا بِالْكَارِ وَمَرْوَانُ بِخُصَّةَ، وَكَانَ أَهْلُ الْمَوْصِلِ يُقَاتِلُونَ مَعَ الْخَوَارِجِ، فَأَقَامَ مَرْوَانُ سِتَّةَ أَشْهُرٍ يُقَاتِلُهُمْ، وَقِيلَ تِسْعَةَ أَشْهُرٍ. وَأُتِيَ مَرْوَانُ بِابْنِ أَخٍ لِسُلَيْمَانَ بْنِ هِشَامٍ يُقَالُ لَهُ أُمَيَّةُ بْنُ مُعَاوِيَةَ بْنِ هِشَامٍ، وَكَانَ مَعَ عَمِّهِ سُلَيْمَانَ فِي عَسْكَرِ شَيْبَانَ أَسِيرًا، فَقَطَعَ يَدَيْهِ وَضَرَبَ عُنُقَهُ، وَعَمُّهُ يَنْظُرُ إِلَيْهِ. وَكَتَبَ مَرْوَانُ إِلَى يَزِيدَ بْنِ عُمَرَ بْنِ هُبَيْرَةَ يَأْمُرُهُ بِالْمَسِيرِ مِنْ قَرْقِيسِيَا بِجَمِيعِ مَنْ مَعَهُ إِلَى الْعِرَاقِ، وَعَلَى الْكُوفَةِ الْمُثَنَّى بْنُ عِمْرَانَ الْعَائِذِيُّ، عَائِذَةُ قُرَيْشٍ، وَهُوَ خَلِيفَةٌ لِلْخَوَارِجِ بِالْعِرَاقِ، فَلَقِيَ ابْنَ هُبَيْرَةَ بِعَيْنِ التَّمْرِ، فَاقْتَتَلُوا قِتَالًا شَدِيدًا، وَانْصَرَفَتِ الْخَوَارِجُ ( ثُمَّ اجْتَمَعُوا بِالْكُوفَةِ بِالنَّخِيلَةِ، فَهَزَمَهُمُ ابْنُ هُبَيْرَةَ. ثُمَّ اجْتَمَعُوا بِالْبَصْرَةِ، فَأَرْسَلَ شَيْبَانُ إِلَيْهِمْ عُبَيْدَةَ بْنَ سَوَّارٍ فِي خَيْلٍ عَظِيمَةٍ، فَالْتَقَوْا بِالْبَصْرَةِ، فَانْهَزَمَتِ الْخَوَارِجُ ) وَقُتِلَ عُبَيْدَةُ، وَاسْتَبَاحَ ابْنُ هُبَيْرَةَ عَسْكَرَهُمْ، فَلَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُمْ هِمَّةٌ بِالْعِرَاقِ، وَاسْتَوْلَى ابْنُ هُبَيْرَةَ عَلَى الْعِرَاقِ. وَكَانَ مَنْصُورُ بْنُ جُمْهُورٍ مَعَ الْخَوَارِجِ فَانْهَزَمَ وَغَلَبَ عَلَى الْمَاهَيْنِ وَعَلَى الْجَبَلِ أَجْمَعَ، وَسَارَ ابْنُ هُبَيْرَةَ إِلَى وَاسِطَ فَأَخَذَ ابْنَ عُمَرَ فَحَبَسَهُ، وَوَجَّهَ نَبَاتَةَ بْنَ حَنْظَلَةَ إِلَى سُلَيْمَانَ بْنِ حَبِيبٍ، وَهُوَ عَلَى كُوَرِ الْأَهْوَازِ، فَسَمِعَ سُلَيْمَانُ الْخَبَرَ فَأَرْسَلَ إِلَى نَبَاتَةَ دَاوُدَ بْنَ حَاتِمٍ، فَالْتَقَوْا بِالْمَرَّتَانِ عَلَى شَاطِئِ دُجَيْلٍ، فَانْهَزَمَ النَّاسُ وَقُتِلَ دَاوُدُ بْنُ حَاتِمٍ. وَكَتَبَ مَرْوَانُ إِلَى ابْنِ هُبَيْرَةَ لَمَّا اسْتَوْلَى عَلَى الْعِرَاقِ يَأْمُرُهُ بِإِرْسَالِ عَامِرِ بْنِ ضُبَارَةَ الْمُرِّيِّ إِلَيْهِ، فَسَيَّرَهُ فِي سَبْعَةِ آلَافٍ أَوْ ثَمَانِيَةِ آلَافٍ، فَبَلَغَ شَيْبَانَ خَبَرُهُ فَأَرْسَلَ الْجَوْنَ بْنَ كِلَابٍ الْخَارِجِيَّ فِي جَمْعٍ، فَلَقُوا عَامِرًا بِالسِّنِّ فَهَزَمُوهُ وَمَنْ مَعَهُ، فَدَخَلَ السِّنَّ وَتَحَصَّنَ فِيهِ، وَجَعَلَ مَرْوَانُ يُمِدُّهُ بِالْجُنُودِ عَلَى طَرِيقِ الْبَرِّ حَتَّى يَنْتَهُوا إِلَى السِّنِّ، فَكَثُرَ جَمْعُ عَامِرٍ. وَكَانَ مَنْصُورُ بْنُ جُمْهُورٍ يُمِدُّ شَيْبَانَ مِنَ الْجَبَلِ بِالْأَمْوَالِ، فَلَمَّا كَثُرَ مَنْ مَعَ عَامِرٍ نَهَضَ إِلَى الْجَوْنِ وَالْخَوَارِجِ فَقَاتَلَهُمْ فَهَزَمَهُمْ، وَقُتِلَ الْجَوْنُ، وَسَارَ ابْنُ ضُبَارَةَ مُصْعِدًا إِلَى الْمَوْصِلِ. فَلَمَّا انْتَهَى خَبَرُ قَتْلِ الْجَوْنِ إِلَى شَيْبَانَ وَمَسِيرِ عَامِرٍ نَحْوَهُ كَرِهَ أَنْ يُقِيمَ بَيْنَ الْعَسْكَرَيْنِ فَارْتَحَلَ بِمَنْ مَعَهُ مِنَ الْخَوَارِجِ، وَقَدِمَ عَامِرٌ عَلَى مَرْوَانَ بِالْمَوْصِلِ، فَسَيَّرَهُ فِي جَمْعٍ كَثِيرٍ فِي أَثَرِ شَيْبَانَ، فَإِنْ أَقَامَ أَقَامَ، وَإِنْ سَارَ سَارَ، وَأَنْ لَا يَبْدَأَهُ بِقِتَالٍ، فَإِنْ قَاتَلَهُ شَيْبَانُ قَاتَلَهُ، وَإِنْ أَمْسَكَ أَمْسَكَ عَنْهُ، وَإِنِ ارْتَحَلَ اتَّبَعَهُ. فَكَانَ عَلَى ذَلِكَ حَتَّى مَرَّ عَلَى الْجَبَلِ، وَخَرَجَ عَلَى بَيْضَاءِ فَارِسَ وَبِهَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مُعَاوِيَةَ بْنِ حَبِيبِ بْنِ جَعْفَرٍ فِي جُمُوعٍ كَثِيرَةٍ، فَلَمْ يَتَهَيَّأِ الْأَمْرُ بَيْنَهُمَا، فَسَارَ حَتَّى نَزَلَ جِيرَفْتَ مِنْ كَرْمَانَ، فَانْهَزَمَ ابْنُ مُعَاوِيَةَ فَلَحِقَ بِهَرَاةَ، وَسَارَ ابْنُ ضُبَارَةَ بِمَنْ مَعَهُ فَلَقِيَ شَيْبَانَ بِجِيرَفْتَ، فَاقْتَتَلُوا قِتَالًا شَدِيدًا فَانْهَزَمَتِ الْخَوَارِجُ وَاسْتُبِيحَ عَسْكَرُهُمْ، وَمَضَى شَيْبَانُ إِلَى سِجِسْتَانَ فَهَلَكَ بِهَا، وَذَلِكَ فِي سَنَةِ ثَلَاثِينَ وَمِائَةٍ. وَقِيلَ: بَلْ كَانَ قِتَالُ مَرْوَانَ وَشَيْبَانَ عَلَى الْمَوْصِلِ مِقْدَارَ شَهْرٍ، ثُمَّ انْهَزَمَ شَيْبَانُ حَتَّى لَحِقَ بِفَارِسَ وَعَامِرُ بْنُ ضُبَارَةَ يَتْبَعُهُ، وَسَارَ شَيْبَانُ إِلَى جَزِيرَةِ ابْنِ كَاوَانَ، ثُمَّ خَرَجَ مِنْهَا إِلَى عُمَانَ، فَقَتَلَهُ جُلُنْدَى بْنُ مَسْعُودِ بْنِ جَيْفَرَ بْنِ جُلُنْدَى الْأَزْدِيُّ سَنَةَ أَرْبَعٍ وَثَلَاثِينَ وَمِائَةٍ، ( وَنَذْكُرُهُ هُنَاكَ إِنْ شَاءَ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى ). وَرَكِبَ سُلَيْمَانُ وَمَنْ مَعَهُ مِنْ أَهْلِهِ وَمَوَالِيهِ السُّفُنَ إِلَى السِّنْدِ. وَلَمَّا وَلِيَ السَّفَّاحُ الْخِلَافَةَ حَضَرَ عِنْدَهُ سُلَيْمَانُ، فَأَكْرَمَهُ وَأَعْطَاهُ يَدَهُ فَقَبَّلَهَا، فَلَمَّا رَأَى ذَلِكَ سُدَيْفٌ مَوْلَى السَّفَّاحِ أَقْبَلَ عَلَيْهِ وَقَالَ: لَا يَغُرَّنَّكَ مَا تَرَى مِنْ رِجَالٍ إِنَّ تَحْتَ الضُّلُوعِ دَاءً دَوِيَّا فَضَعِ السَّيْفَ وَارْفَعِ السَّوْطَ حَتَّى لَا تَرَى فَوْقَ ظَهْرِهَا أُمَوِيَّا فَأَقْبَلَ عَلَيْهِ سُلَيْمَانُ، وَقَالَ: قَتَلْتَنِي أَيُّهَا الشَّيْخُ ! وَقَامَ السَّفَّاحُ فَدَخَلَ، فَأُخِذَ سُلَيْمَانَ فَقُتِلَ. وَانْصَرَفَ مَرْوَانُ ( بَعْدَ مَسِيرِ شَيْبَانَ عَنِ الْمَوْصِلِ ) إِلَى مَنْزِلِهِ بِحَرَّانَ، فَأَقَامَ بِهَا حَتَّى سَارَ إِلَى الزَّابِ.
Translation
✧ Then the year 129 AH began. Mention of Shaybān al-Ḥarūrī until he was killed. He is Shaybān b. ʿAbd al-ʿAzīz Abū al-Dulaf al-Yashkurī. The cause of his destruction was that when the Khawārij pledged allegiance to him after the killing of al-Khaybarī, he set about fighting Marwān. Many of those motivated by greed dispersed from Shaybān, so he remained with about forty thousand men. Sulaymān b. Hishām advised them to turn to al-Mawṣil and make it their rear. So they departed, and Marwān followed them until they reached al-Mawṣil. They encamped east of the Tigris and built bridges across it from their camp to the city, so that their provisions and needs came from it. Marwān dug a trench facing them. The Khawārij had encamped at al-Kār, and Marwān at Khuṣṣa. The people of al-Mawṣil fought alongside the Khawārij. Marwān remained fighting them for six months, and it is said nine months. A nephew of Sulaymān b. Hishām named Umayya b. Muʿāwiya b. Hishām, who was with his uncle Sulaymān in Shaybān's camp, was brought to Marwān as a captive. He cut off his hands and struck his neck while his uncle looked on. Marwān wrote to Yazīd b. ʿUmar b. Hubayra ordering him to march from Qarqīsiyā with all those with him to Iraq. Over al-Kūfa was al-Muthannā b. ʿImrān al-ʿĀʾidhī, of ʿĀʾidhat Quraysh, who was the Khawārij's deputy in Iraq. He met Ibn Hubayra at ʿAyn al-Tamr, and they fought a fierce battle, and the Khawārij withdrew. Then they gathered at al-Kūfa at al-Nukhayla, and Ibn Hubayra defeated them. Then they gathered at al-Baṣra, and Shaybān sent to them ʿUbayda b. Sawwār with a great cavalry force. They met at al-Baṣra, and the Khawārij were routed, and ʿUbayda was killed. Ibn Hubayra plundered their camp, so they had no further concern with Iraq, and Ibn Hubayra took control of Iraq. Manṣūr b. Jumhūr was with the Khawārij and was defeated, then he took control of al-Māhayn and the entire mountain region. Ibn Hubayra marched to Wāsiṭ, seized Ibn ʿUmar, and imprisoned him. He dispatched Nabāta b. Ḥanẓala against Sulaymān b. Ḥabīb, who was over the districts of al-Ahwāz. Sulaymān heard the news and sent Dāwūd b. Ḥātim against Nabāta. They met at al-Marratān on the bank of Dujayl, and the people were routed, and Dāwūd b. Ḥātim was killed. When he took control of Iraq, Marwān wrote to Ibn Hubayra ordering him to send ʿĀmir b. Ḍubāra al-Murrī to him. He dispatched him with seven thousand or eight thousand men. News of him reached Shaybān, so he sent al-Jawn b. Kilāb al-Khārijī with a force. They met ʿĀmir at al-Sinn, and they routed him and those with him. He entered al-Sinn and fortified himself there. Marwān kept sending him reinforcements along the land route until they reached al-Sinn, so ʿĀmir's force grew large. Manṣūr b. Jumhūr used to supply Shaybān from the mountain with money. When those with ʿĀmir became numerous, he advanced against al-Jawn and the Khawārij and fought them and routed them. Al-Jawn was killed, and Ibn Ḍubāra marched up toward al-Mawṣil. When news of al-Jawn's killing and ʿĀmir's march toward him reached Shaybān, he disliked staying between the two armies, so he departed with those Khawārij who were with him. ʿĀmir arrived at Marwān's camp at al-Mawṣil, and Marwān sent him with a large force in pursuit of Shaybān: if he stayed, he was to stay; if he marched, he was to march; and he was not to initiate fighting against him. If Shaybān fought him, he was to fight him; if he refrained, he was to refrain from him; and if he departed, he was to follow him. He continued thus until he passed the mountain and emerged at Bayḍāʾ Fārs, where ʿAbd Allāh b. Muʿāwiya b. Ḥabīb b. Jaʿfar was with large forces, but no confrontation occurred between them. He marched on until he encamped at Jīruft in Kirmān. Ibn Muʿāwiya was defeated and fled to Harāt. Ibn Ḍubāra marched with those with him and met Shaybān at Jīruft. They fought a fierce battle, and the Khawārij were routed and their camp was plundered. Shaybān went on to Sijistān and perished there, in the year 130 AH. It is said: rather the fighting between Marwān and Shaybān at al-Mawṣil lasted about a month, then Shaybān was routed and fled until he reached Fārs, with ʿĀmir b. Ḍubāra pursuing him. Shaybān went to the island of Ibn Kāwān, then left it for ʿUmān, where Julandā b. Masʿūd b. Jayfar b. Julandā al-Azdī killed him in the year 134 AH (and we shall mention him there, God willing). Sulaymān and those with him of his family and clients boarded ships for al-Sind. When al-Saffāḥ assumed the caliphate, Sulaymān came to him, and he honored him and gave him his hand, and he kissed it. When Sudayf, al-Saffāḥ's client, saw that, he approached and said: Let not what you see of men deceive you; beneath the ribs lies a festering disease. Put the sword in place and raise the whip until you see no Umayyad above its back. Sulaymān turned to him and said: "You have killed me, old man!" Al-Saffāḥ rose and entered, and Sulaymān was seized and killed. After Shaybān's departure from al-Mawṣil, Marwān returned to his residence at Ḥarrān and stayed there until he marched to the Zāb.
