Then the Year 132 AH Began
ذِكْرُ قَتْلِ عُمَّالِ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ بِفَارِسَ وَفِي هَذِهِ السَّنَةِ وَجَّهَ أَبُو مُسْلِمٍ الْخُرَاسَانِيُّ مُحَمَّدَ بْنَ الْأَشْعَثِ عَلَى فَارِسَ، وَأَمَرَهُ أَنْ يَقْتُلَ عُمَّالَ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ، فَفَعَلَ ذَلِكَ، فَوَجَّهَ السَّفَّاحُ عَمَّهُ عِيسَى بْنَ عَلِيٍّ إِلَى فَارِسَ، وَعَلَيْهَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْأَشْعَثِ. فَأَرَادَ مُحَمَّدٌ قَتْلَ عِيسَى، فَقِيلَ لَهُ: إِنَّ هَذَا لَا يَسُوغُ لَكَ. فَقَالَ: بَلَى أَمَرَنِي أَبُو مُسْلِمٍ أَنْ لَا يَقْدَمَ أَحَدٌ عَلَيَّ يَدَّعِي الْوِلَايَةَ مِنْ غَيْرِهِ إِلَّا ضَرَبْتُ عُنُقَهُ، ثُمَّ تَرَكَ عِيسَى خَوْفًا مِنْ عَاقِبَةِ قَتْلِهِ، وَاسْتَحْلَفَ عِيسَى بِالْأَيْمَانِ الْمُحَرِّجَةِ أَنْ لَا يَعْلُوَ مِنْبَرًا، وَلَا يَتَقَلَّدَ سَيْفًا إِلَّا فِي جِهَادٍ، فَلَمْ يَلِ عِيسَى بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ وِلَايَةً، وَلَا تَقَلَّدَ سَيْفًا إِلَّا فِي غَزْوٍ، ثُمَّ وَجَّهَ السَّفَّاحُ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ إِسْمَاعِيلَ بْنَ عَلِيٍّ وَالِيًا عَلَى فَارِسَ.
Translation
✧ Mention of the killing of Abū Salamah's governors in Fārs In this year, Abū Muslim al-Khurāsānī dispatched Muḥammad b. al-Ashʿath to Fārs and ordered him to kill the governors of Abū Salamah, and he did so. Al-Saffāḥ then sent his paternal uncle ʿĪsā b. ʿAlī to Fārs, while Muḥammad b. al-Ashʿath was over it. Muḥammad wanted to kill ʿĪsā, but it was said to him: "This is not permissible for you." He said: "Indeed, Abū Muslim ordered me that no one should come to me claiming authority from other than him except that I strike his neck." Then he left ʿĪsā alone for fear of the consequences of killing him, and he made ʿĪsā swear binding oaths that he would not ascend a pulpit or gird a sword except in jihād. After that, ʿĪsā never held a governorship nor girded a sword except in a military expedition. Then al-Saffāḥ, after that, sent Ismāʿīl b. ʿAlī as governor over Fārs.
