Then the Year 139 AH Began
وَفِي هَذِهِ السَّنَةِ كَانَ الْفِدَاءُ بَيْنَ الْمَنْصُورِ، وَمَلِكِ الرُّومِ، فَاسْتَفْدَى الْمَنْصُورُ أَسْرَى قَالِيقَلَا وَغَيْرَهُمْ مِنَ الرُّومِ، وَبَنَاهَا وَعَمَّرَهَا وَرَدَّ إِلَيْهَا أَهْلِيهَا، وَنَدَبَ إِلَيْهَا جُنْدًا مِنْ أَهْلِ الْجَزِيرَةِ وَغَيْرِهِمْ، فَأَقَامُوا بِهَا وَحَمَوْهَا. وَلَمْ يَكُنْ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ صَائِفَةٌ فِيمَا قِيلَ إِلَّا سَنَةَ سِتٍّ وَأَرْبَعِينَ، لِاشْتِغَالِ الْمَنْصُورِ بِابْنَيْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ، إِلَّا أَنَّ بَعْضَهُمْ قَالَ: إِنَّ الْحَسَنَ بْنَ قَحْطَبَةَ غَزَا الصَّائِفَةَ مَعَ عَبْدِ الْوَهَّابِ بْنِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ الْإِمَامِ فِي سَنَةِ أَرْبَعِينَ، وَأَقْبَلَ قُسْطَنْطِينُ مَلِكُ الرُّومِ فِي مِائَةِ أَلْفٍ فَبَلَغَ جَيْحَانَ، فَسَمِعَ كَثْرَةَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ، فَأَحْجَمَ عَنْهُمْ، ثُمَّ لَمْ يَكُنْ بَعْدَهَا صَائِفَةٌ إِلَى سَنَةِ سِتٍّ وَأَرْبَعِينَ.
Translation
✧ In this year the ransom took place between al-Manṣūr and the king of the Byzantines. Al-Manṣūr ransomed the captives of Qālīqalā and others from the Byzantines, rebuilt it, settled it, returned its people to it, and assigned to it troops from the people of al-Jazīrah and others, who stayed there and defended it. After that, it is said, there was no summer expedition except in the year forty-six, because al-Manṣūr was occupied with the two sons of ʿAbd Allāh b. al-Ḥasan b. al-Ḥasan b. ʿAlī. However, some of them said that al-Ḥasan b. Qaḥṭabah raided the summer expedition with ʿAbd al-Wahhāb b. Ibrāhīm al-Imām in the year forty, and Qusṭanṭīn, king of the Byzantines, advanced with one hundred thousand and reached Jayḥān. When he heard of the large number of the Muslims, he held back from them. Then after that there was no summer expedition until the year forty-six.
