الْفِتْنَةِ بِالْمَوْصِلِ . وَفِيهَا خَالَفَ الْعَطَّافُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ الْأَزْدِيُّ عَلَى الرَّشِيدِ، وَكَانَ مِنْ فُرْسَانِ أَهْلِ الْمَوْصِلِ، وَاجْتَمَعَ عَلَيْهِ أَرْبَعَةُ آلَافِ رَجُلٍ، وَجَبَى الْخَرَاجَ، وَكَانَ عَامِلُ الرَّشِيدِ عَلَى الْمَوْصِلِ مُحَمَّدَ بْنَ الْعَبَّاسِ الْهَاشِمِيَّ، وَقِيلَ عَبْدُ الْمَلِكِ بْنُ صَالِحٍ، وَالْعَطَّافُ غَالِبٌ عَلَى الْأَمْرِ كُلِّهِ، وَهُوَ يَجْبِي الْخَرَاجَ، وَأَقَامَ عَلَى هَذَا سَنَتَيْنِ، حَتَّى خَرَجَ الرَّشِيدُ إِلَى الْمَوْصِلِ فَهَدَمَ سُورَهَا بِسَبَبِهِ.
Translation
✧ The sedition in Mosul. In this year, al-ʿAṭṭāf b. Sulaymān al-Azdī rebelled against al-Rashīd. He was one of the knights of the people of Mosul, and four thousand men gathered around him, and he collected the land tax. The governor of al-Rashīd over Mosul was Muḥammad b. al-ʿAbbās al-Hāshimī—and it is said ʿAbd al-Malik b. Ṣāliḥ—while al-ʿAṭṭāf had control over the entire affair, and he was collecting the land tax. He remained in this state for two years, until al-Rashīd went out to Mosul and demolished its wall because of him.
