ثُمَّ دَخَلَتْ سَنَةُ أَرْبَعِينَ وَمِائَةٍ ذِكْرُ هَلَاكِ أَبِي دَاوُدَ عَامِلِ خُرَاسَانَ وَوِلَايَةِ عَبْدِ الْجَبَّارِ وَفِي هَذِهِ السَّنَةِ هَلَكَ أَبُو دَاوُدَ خَالِدُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ الذُّهْلِيُّ عَامِلُ خُرَاسَانَ. وَكَانَ سَبَبُ هَلَاكِهِ أَنَّ نَاسًا مِنَ الْجُنْدِ ثَارُوا بِهِ وَهُوَ بِكُشْمَاهَنَ، وَوَصَلُوا إِلَى الْمَنْزِلِ الَّذِي هُوَ فِيهِ، فَأَشْرَفَ عَلَيْهِمْ مِنَ الْحَائِطِ لَيْلًا، فَوَطِئَ حَرْفَ آجُرَّةٍ خَارِجَةٍ، وَجَعَلَ يُنَادِي أَصْحَابَهُ لِيَعْرِفُوا صَوْتَهُ، فَانْكَسَرَتِ الْآجُرَّةُ تَحْتَهُ عِنْدَ الصُّبْحِ، فَسَقَطَ عَلَى الْأَرْضِ، فَانْكَسَرَ ظَهْرُهُ، فَمَاتَ عِنْدَ صَلَاةِ الْعَصْرِ. فَقَامَ عِصَامٌ صَاحِبُ شُرْطَتِهِ بَعْدَهُ حَتَّى قَدِمَ عَلَيْهِ عَبْدُ الْجَبَّارِ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ الْأَزْدِيُّ عَامِلًا عَلَى خُرَاسَانَ، فَلَمَّا قَدِمَهَا أَخَذَ جَمَاعَةً مِنَ الْقُوَّادِ اتَّهَمَهُمْ بِالدُّعَاءِ إِلَى وَلَدِ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ، مِنْهُمْ: مُجَاشِعُ بْنُ حُرَيْثٍ الْأَنْصَارِيُّ عَامِلُ بُخَارَى، وَأَبُو الْمُغِيرَةِ خَالِدُ بْنُ كَثِيرٍ مَوْلَى بَنِي تَمِيمٍ عَامِلُ قُوهِسْتَانَ، وَالْحَرِيشُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ الذُّهْلِيُّ، وَهُوَ ابْنُ عَمِّ أَبِي دَاوُدَ، فَقَتَلَهُمْ وَحَبَسَ جَمَاعَةً غَيْرَهُمْ، وَأَلَحَّ عَلَى عُمَّالِ أَبِي دَاوُدَ فِي اسْتِخْرَاجِ مَا عِنْدَهُمْ مِنَ الْأَمْوَالِ.
Translation
✧ Then the year 140 AH began Account of the death of Abū Dāwūd, governor of Khurāsān, and the appointment of ʿAbd al-Jabbār In this year, Abū Dāwūd Khālid b. Ibrāhīm al-Dhuhlī, governor of Khurāsān, died. The cause of his death was that some of the troops rose up against him while he was at Kushmāhan, and they reached the dwelling where he was. He looked down upon them from the wall at night, and his foot trod on the edge of a protruding brick. He began calling out to his companions so that they might recognize his voice, and the brick broke beneath him at dawn, so he fell to the ground and his back was broken, and he died at the time of the afternoon prayer. Then ʿIṣām, his chief of police, took charge after him until ʿAbd al-Jabbār b. ʿAbd al-Raḥmān al-Azdī arrived as governor over Khurāsān. When he arrived there, he seized a group of commanders whom he accused of summoning people to the descendants of ʿAlī b. Abī Ṭālib, among them: Mujāshiʿ b. Ḥurayth al-Anṣārī, governor of Bukhārā; Abū al-Mughīra Khālid b. Kathīr, client of Banū Tamīm, governor of Qūhistān; and al-Ḥarīsh b. Muḥammad al-Dhuhlī, who was the cousin of Abū Dāwūd. He killed them and imprisoned a group of others, and he pressed the agents of Abū Dāwūd to extract the funds in their possession.
