Then the Year 136 AH Began
ذِكْرُ الْفِتْنَةِ بِالْأَنْدَلُسِ وَفِي هَذِهِ السَّنَةِ خَرَجَ فِي الْأَنْدَلُسِ الْحُبَابُ بْنُ رَوَاحَةَ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ الزُّهْرِيُّ، وَدَعَا إِلَى نَفْسِهِ، وَاجْتَمَعَ إِلَيْهِ جَمْعٌ مِنَ الْيَمَانِيَّةِ، فَسَارَ إِلَى الصُّمَيْلِ وَهُوَ أَمِيرُ قُرْطُبَةَ، فَحَصَرَهُ بِهَا وَضَيَّقَ عَلَيْهِ، فَاسْتَمَدَّ الصُّمَيْلُ يُوسُفَ الْفِهْرِيَّ أَمِيرَ الْأَنْدَلُسِ، فَلَمْ يَفْعَلْ لِتَوَالِي الْغَلَاءِ وَالْجُوعِ عَلَى الْأَنْدَلُسِ، وَلِأَنَّ يُوسُفَ قَدْ كَرِهَ الصُّمَيْلَ، وَاخْتَارَ هَلَاكَهُ لِيَسْتَرِيحَ مِنْهُ. وَثَارَ بِهَا أَيْضًا عَامِرٌ الْعَبْدَرِيُّ وَجَمَعَ جَمْعًا، وَاجْتَمَعَ مَعَ الْحُبَابِ عَلَى الصُّمَيْلِ، وَقَامَا بِدَعْوَةِ بَنِي الْعَبَّاسِ. فَلَمَّا اشْتَدَّ الْحِصَارُ عَلَى الصُّمَيْلِ كَتَبَ إِلَى قَوْمِهِ يَسْتَمِدُّهُمْ، فَسَارَعُوا إِلَى نُصْرَتِهِ وَاجْتَمَعُوا وَسَارُوا إِلَيْهِ، فَلَمَّا سَمِعَ الْحُبَابُ بِقُرْبِهِمْ سَارَ الصُّمَيْلُ عَنْ سَرَقُسْطَةَ وَفَارَقَهَا، فَعَادَ الْحُبَابُ إِلَيْهَا وَمَلَكَهَا، وَاسْتَعْمَلَ يُوسُفُ الْفِهْرِيُّ الصُّمَيْلَ عَلَى طُلَيْطُلَةَ.
Translation
✧ Mention of the sedition in al-Andalus In this year, al-Ḥubāb b. Rawāḥa b. ʿAbd Allāh al-Zuhrī rose in al-Andalus and called for himself, and a group of the Yemenis gathered to him. He marched to al-Ṣumayl, who was the governor of Qurṭuba, and besieged him there and pressed him hard. Al-Ṣumayl sought reinforcements from Yūsuf al-Fihrī, the governor of al-Andalus, but he did not do so because of the successive high prices and famine in al-Andalus, and because Yūsuf had come to dislike al-Ṣumayl and preferred his destruction so that he might be rid of him. ʿĀmir al-ʿAbdarī also rose there, gathered a force, and joined al-Ḥubāb against al-Ṣumayl, and they both proclaimed the call of the Banū al-ʿAbbās. When the siege intensified against al-Ṣumayl, he wrote to his people seeking their aid. They hastened to his support, assembled, and marched to him. When al-Ḥubāb heard of their approach, al-Ṣumayl departed from Saraqusṭa and left it. Al-Ḥubāb returned to it and took possession of it, and Yūsuf al-Fihrī appointed al-Ṣumayl over Ṭulayṭula.
