مَنْ تُوُفِّيَ فِي هَذِهِ السَّنَةِ مِنَ الْأَكَابِرِ أَصْبَغُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ بْنِ مَرْوَانَ بْنِ الْحَكَمِ، أَبُو زَيَّانَ أَصْبَغُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ بْنِ مَرْوَانَ بْنِ الْحَكَمِ، أَبُو زَيَّانَ حَكَى عَنْهُ عَوْنُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ قَالَ: قَالَ لِي أَصْبَغُ: سَمِعْتُ مِنْ أَبِيكَ كَلَامًا نَفَعَنِي اللَّهُ بِهِ: لَئِنْ يُخْطِئُ الْإِمَامُ فِي الْعَفْوِ خَيْرٌ مِنْ أَنْ يُخْطِئَ فِي الْعُقُوبَةِ. تُوُفِّيَ أَصْبَغُ فِي رَمَضَانِ هَذِهِ السَّنَةِ. حَسَّانُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، أَبُو هِشَامٍ الْعَنْزِيُّ الْكُوفِيُّ، قَاضِي كَرْمَانَ حَسَّانُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، أَبُو هِشَامٍ الْعَنْزِيُّ الْكُوفِيُّ، قَاضِي كَرْمَانَ . وُلِدَ سَنَةَ سِتٍّ وَثَمَانِينَ، رَأَى مُحَارِبَ بْنَ دِثَارٍ، وَسَمِعَ هِشَامَ بْنَ عُرْوَةَ، وَالثَّوْرِيَّ، وَرَوَى عَنْهُ عَفَّانُ بْنُ مُسْلِمٍ، وَوَثَّقَهُ يَحْيَى. وَتُوُفِّيَ فِي هَذِهِ السَّنَةِ، وَلَهُ مِائَةُ سَنَةٍ. سَلْمٌ الْخَاسِرُ الشَّاعِرُ سَلْمٌ الْخَاسِرُ الشَّاعِرُ هُوَ: سَلْمُ بْنُ عَمْرِو بْنِ حَمَّادِ بْنِ عَطَاءٍ. يُقَالُ إِنَّهُ مَوْلَى أَبِي بَكْرٍ الصِّدِّيقِ ؓ. وَيُقَالُ: بَلْ مَوْلَى الْمَهْدِيِّ. وَاخْتُلِفَ لِمَ سُمِّيَ الْخَاسِرَ، فَقَالَ الْيَزِيدِيُّ: وَرِثَ مِنْ أَبِيهِ مِائَةَ أَلْفِ دِرْهَمٍ [وَأَصَابَ مِنْ مَدَائِحِ الْمُلُوكِ مِائَةَ أَلْفِ دِرْهَمٍ ] فَأَنْفَقَهَا كُلَّهَا عَلَى الْأَدَبِ [وَأَهْلِهِ ]. وَحَكَى الْأَصْفَهَانِيُّ: أَنَّهُ وَرِثَ مِنْ أَبِيهِ مُصْحَفًا فَبَاعَهُ وَاشْتَرَى بِثَمَنِهِ طُنْبُورًا. وَذَكَرَ الصُّولِيُّ أَنَّ الرَّشِيدَ قَالَ لَهُ: لِمَ سَمَّيْتَ الْخَاسِرَ ؟ فَقَالَ: بِعْتُ وَأَنَا صَبِيٌّ مُصْحَفًا وَاشْتَرَيْتُ بِثَمَنِهِ شِعْرَ امْرِئِ الْقَيْسِ، وَقَدْ رَزَقَنِي اللَّهُ حِفْظَ الْقُرْآنِ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ، فَقَالَ لَهُ: فَأَنْتَ الْآنَ الرَّابِحُ. قَالَ: وَقِيلَ إِنَّهُمْ رَأَوْهُ يَوْمًا فِي سُوقِ الدَّفَاتِرِ وَقَدْ بَاعَ مُصْحَفًا بِشِعْرِ الْأَعْشَى، فَقَالَ لَهُ النَّاسُ: أَنْتَ وَاللَّهِ الْخَاسِرُ. فَبَقِيَتْ عَلَيْهِ. قَالَ: وَكَانَ مُقْتَدِرًا عَلَى الشِّعْرِ بَلَغَ مِنَ اقْتِدَارِهِ أَنَّهُ اخْتَرَعَ شِعْرًا عَلَى حَرْفٍ وَاحِدٍ لَمْ يُسْبَقْ إِلَيْهِ، وَأَقَلُّ شِعْرٍ سُمِعَ لِلْعَرَبِ عَلَى حَرْفَيْنِ، نَحْوَ قَوْلِ دُرَيْدِ بْنِ الصِّمَّةِ: يَا لَيْتَنِي فِيهَا جَذَعْ أَخُبُّ فِيهَا وَأَضَعْ فَقَالَ سَلْمُ [الْخَاسِرُ ] لِمُوسَى الْهَادِي شِعْرًا عَلَى حَرْفٍ وَاحِدٍ مِنْهُ: مُوسَى الْمَطَرْ غَيْثٌ بَكَرْ ثُمَّ انْهَمَرْ كَمِ اعْتَسَرْ ثُمَّ اقْتَسَرْ وَكَمْ قَدَرْ ثُمَّ غَفَرْ عَدْلُ السِّيَرْ بَاقِي الْأَثَرْ خَيْرُ الْبَشَرْ فَرْعُ مُضَرْ بَدْرٌ بَدَرْ لِمَنْ نَظَرْ هُوَ الْوَزَرْ لِمَنْ حَضَرْ وَالْمُفْتَخَرْ لِمَنْ غَبَرْ وَالْمُجْتَبِرْ لِمَنْ عَثَرْ وَذَكَرَ الْخَطِيبُ أَنَّهُ كَانَ عَلَى طَرِيقَةٍ غَيْرِ مَرْضِيَّةٍ مِنَ الْمُجُونِ وَالْخَلَاعَةِ وَالْفِسْقِ، ثُمَّ تَعَرَّى وَتَرَكَ ذَلِكَ، فَرَقَّتْ حَالُهُ، فَاغْتَمَّ لِذَلِكَ، وَرَجَعَ إِلَى شَرِّ مِمَّا كَانَ عَلَيْهِ أَوَّلًا، فَبَاعَ مُصْحَفًا كَانَ لَهُ وَاشْتَرَى بِثَمَنِهِ دَفْتَرًا فِيهِ شِعْرٌ، فَشَاعَ خَبَرُهُ فِي النَّاسَ فَسَمَّوْهُ: سَلْمًا الْخَاسِرَ لِذَلِكَ. وَكَانَ مِنَ الشُّعَرَاءِ الْمُجِيدِينَ، وَكَانَ مِنْ تَلَامِذَةِ بَشَّارٍ، وَصَارَ يَقُولُ أَرَقَّ مِنْ شِعْرِهِ، فَغَضِبَ بَشَّارٌ، وَكَانَ بَشَّارٌ قَدْ قَالَ: مَنْ رَاقَبَ النَّاسَ لَمْ يَظْفَرْ بِحَاجَتِهِ وَفَازَ بِالطَّيِّبَاتِ الْفَاتِكُ اللَّهِجُ فَقَالَ هُوَ: مَنْ رَاقَبَ النَّاسَ مَاتَ غَمًّا وَفَازَ بِاللَّذَّةِ الْجَسُورُ فَغَضِبَ بَشَّارٌ وَقَالَ: ذَهَبَ وَاللَّهِ بَيْتِي، تَأْخُذُ الْمَعَانِيَ الَّتِي قَدْ تَعِبْتُ فِيهَا فَتَكْسُوهَا أَلْفَاظًا أَخَفَّ مِنْ أَلْفَاظِي ! ؟ لَا أَرْضَى عَنْكَ. فَمَا زَالُوا يَسْأَلُونَهُ حَتَّى رَضِيَ عَنْهُ. وعن الْجَوَّانِيُّ الْهَاشِمِيُّ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي قَالَ: كَانَ سَلْمٌ قَدْ كَسَبَ مَالًا بِقَصِيدَتِهِ الَّتِي مَدَحَ بِهَا الْمَهْدِيَّ، الَّتِي أَوَّلُهَا: حَضَرَ الرَّحِيلُ وَشُدَّتِ الْأَحْدَاجُ وَحَدَا بِهِنَّ مُشَمَّرٌ مِزْعَاجُ شَرِبَتْ بِمَكَّةَ مِنْ ذُرَى بَطْحَائِهَا مَاءَ النُّبُوَّةِ لَيْسَ فِيهِ مِزَاجُ وَكَانَ الْمَهْدِيُّ أَعْطَى [ هَارُونَ ] بْنَ أَبِي حَفْصَةَ مِائَةَ أَلْفِ دِرْهَمٍ، الَّتِي أَوَّلُهَا: طَرَقَتْكَ زَائِرَةً فَحَيِّ خَيَالَهَا فَأَرَادَ أَنْ يُنْقِصَ سَلْمًا عَنْ هَذِهِ الْجَائِزَةِ، فَحَلَفَ سَلْمٌ أَنْ لَا يَأْخُذَ إِلَّا مِائَةَ أَلْفِ دِرْهَمٍ، وَأَلْفَ دِرْهَمٍ، وَقَالَ: تُطْرَحُ الْقَصِيدَتَانِ إِلَى أَهْلِ الْعِلْمِ حَتَّى يُخَيِّرُوا بِتَقْدِيمِ قَصِيدَتِي، فَأَنْفَذَ لَهُ الْمَهْدِيُّ مِائَةَ أَلْفِ دِرْهَمٍ، وَأَلْفَ دِرْهَمٍ، فَلَمَّا بَلَغَ إِلَى زَمَانِ الرَّشِيدِ قَالَ قَصِيدَتَهُ الَّتِي أَوَّلُهَا: قُلْ لِلْمَنَازِلِ بِالْكَثِيبِ الْأَعْفَرِ أَسْقَيْتَ غَادِيَةَ السَّحَابِ الْمُمْطِرِ قَدْ بَايَعَ الثَّقَلَانِ مَهْدِيَّ الْهُدَى لِمُحَمَّدِ ابْنِ زُبَيْدَةَ ابْنَةِ جَعْفَرِ فَحَشَتْ زُبَيْدَةُ فَاهُ دُرًّا، فَبَاعَهُ بِعِشْرِينَ أَلْفَ دِينَارٍ، وَهَذَا حِينَ بَايَعَ الرَّشِيدُ لِمُحَمَّدِ ابْنِ زُبَيْدَةَ. وَمَاتَ سَلْمٌ فِي أَيَّامِ الرَّشِيدِ وَقَدِ اجْتَمَعَ عِنْدَهُ مِنَ الْمَالِ قِيمَةُ سِتَّةٍ وَثَلَاثِينَ أَلْفَ دِينَارٍ، فَأَوْدَعَهَا أَبَا السَّمْرَاءِ الْغَسَّانِيَّ، فَبَقِيَتْ عِنْدَهُ، وَأَتَى إِبْرَاهِيمُ الْمَوْصِلِيُّ يَوْمَ [الْعِيدِ ] عِنْدَ الرَّشِيدِ وَغَنَّاهُ فَأَطْرَبَهُ، فَقَالَ: يَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ، سَلْ مَا شِئْتَ. قَالَ: نَعَمْ يَا سَيِّدِي، أَسْأَلُ شَيْئًا لَا يَرْزَأُكَ، قَالَ: مَا هُوَ ؟ قَالَ: مَاتَ سَلْمٌ وَلَيْسَ لَهُ وَارِثٌ، وَقَدْ خَلَّفَ سِتَّةً وَثَلَاثِينَ أَلْفَ دِينَارٍ عِنْدَ أَبِي السَّمْرَاءِ الْغَسَّانِيِّ، تَأْمُرُهُ بِدَفْعِهَا إِلَيَّ. فَبَعَثَ إِلَيْهِ أَنْ يَدْفَعَهَا إِلَيْهِ فَدَفَعَهَا. وَكَانَ الْجَمَّازُ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ قَدِمَ هُوَ وَأَبَوْهُ يَطْلُبَانِ مِيرَاثَ سَلْمٍ. وَأَنَّهُمَا مِنْ قَرَابَتِهِ. وَفِي رِوَايَةٍ: أَنَّ تَرِكَتَهُ كَانَتْ خَمْسِينَ أَلْفَ دِينَارٍ، وَذَكَرُوا أَنَّهُ لَمَّا قَالَ أَبُو الْعَتَاهِيَةِ: تَعَالَى اللَّهُ يَا سَلْمُ بْنَ عُمَرَ وَذَلَّ الْحِرْصُ أَعْنَاقَ الرِّجَالِ غَضِبَ سَلْمٌ وَقَالَ: يَزْعُمُ أَنِّي حَرِيصٌ، فَقَالَ يَرُدُّ عَلَيْهِ: مَا أَقْبَحَ التَّزْهِيدَ مِنْ وَاعِظٍ يُزَهِّدُ النَّاسَ وَلَا يَزْهَدُ لَوْ كَانَ فِي تَزْهِيدِهِ صَادِقًا أَضْحَى وَأَمْسَى بَيْتُهُ الْمَسْجِدَ وَرَفَضَ الدُّنْيَا فَلَمْ يَلْقَهَا وَلَمْ يَكُ يَسْعَى وَيَسْتَرْفِدُ [يَخَافُ أَنْ تَنْفَذَ أَرْزَاقُهُ وَالرِّزْقُ عِنْدَ اللَّهِ لَا يَنْفَدُ ] وَالرِّزْقُ مَقْسُومٌ عَلَى مَا تَرَى يَنَالُهُ الْأَبْيَضُ وَالْأَسْوَدُ كُلًّا يُوَفَّى رِزْقَهُ كَامِلًا مَنْ كَفَّ عَنْ جُهْدٍ وَمَنْ يَجْهَدُ قَالَ أَبُو هَفَّانَ: وَصَلَ إِلَى سَلْمٍ مِنَ الْبَرَامِكَةِ خَاصَّةً عِشْرُونَ أَلْفَ دِينَارٍ، وَمِنَ الرَّشِيدِ مِثْلُهَا. شُقْرَانُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ الْإِفْرِيقِيُّ شُقْرَانُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ الْإِفْرِيقِيُّ ، صَاحِبُ الْفَرَائِضِ. كَانَ رَجُلًا صَالِحًا، بِعِبَادَتِهِ يُضْرَبُ الْمَثَلُ. تُوُفِّيَ فِي هَذِهِ السَّنَةِ. عَمْرُو بْنُ زُرَارَةَ بْنِ وَاقِدٍ، أَبُو مُحَمَّدٍ، الْكِلَابِيُّ النَّيْسَابُورِيُّ عَمْرُو بْنُ زُرَارَةَ بْنِ وَاقِدٍ، أَبُو مُحَمَّدٍ، الْكِلَابِيُّ النَّيْسَابُورِيُّ. سَمِعَ مُعَاذَ بْنَ مُعَاذٍ، وَسُفْيَانَ بْنَ عُيَيْنَةَ، وَهُشَيْمَ بْنَ بَشِيرٍ، وَابْنَ عُلَيَّةَ، وَغَيْرَهُمْ. وَقَرَأَ الْقُرْآنَ عَلَى عَلِيِّ بْنِ حَمْزَةَ الْكِسَائِيِّ. رَوَى عَنْهُ: الْبُخَارِيُّ، وَمُسْلِمٌ، وَغَيْرُهُمَا. وَكَانَ فَوْقَ الثِّقَةِ. الْعَبَّاسُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَلِيِّ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ [بْنِ ] الْعَبَّاسِ الْعَبَّاسُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَلِيِّ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ [بْنِ ] الْعَبَّاسِ . كَانَ مِنْ رِجَالَاتِ بَنِي هَاشِمٍ، وَوَلِيَ إِمْرَةَ الْجَزِيرَةِ أَيَّامَ الرَّشِيدِ، وَكَانَ أَجْوَدَ النَّاسِ رَأْيًا، وَكَانَ الرَّشِيدُ يَقُولُ: عَمِّي الْعَبَّاسُ. يُذَكِّرُنَا أَسْلَافَنَا. وعن أَحْمَدُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ عَرَفَةَ قَالَ: تُوُفِّيَ الْعَبَّاسُ سَنَةَ خَمْسٍ وَثَمَانِينَ وَمِائَةٍ، وُلِّيَ الْعَبَّاسُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ - الَّذِي تُنْسَبُ إِلَيْهِ الْعَبَّاسِيَّةُ - الْجَزِيرَةَ، وَصَارَ إِلَى الرِّقَّةِ، وَأَمَرَ الرَّشِيدُ فَفُرِشَ لَهُ فِي قَصْرِ الْإِمَارَةِ، وَاتُّخِذَتْ لَهُ فِيهِ الْآلَاتُ وَشُحِنَ بِالرَّقِيقِ، وَحُمِلَ إِلَيْهِ خَمْسَةُ آلَافِ أَلْفِ دِرْهَمٍ، وَفِي سَنَةِ سِتٍّ وَثَمَانِينَ وَمِائَةٍ تُوُفِّيَ الْعَبَّاسُ بِبَغْدَادَ فِي رَجَبٍ، وَصَلَّى عَلَيْهِ الْأَمِينُ، وَدُفِنَ فِي الْعَبَّاسِيَّةِ وَسِنُّهُ خَمْسٌ وَسِتُّونَ سَنَةً وَسِتَّةُ أَشْهُرٍ، وَسِتَّةَ عَشَرَ يَوْمًا. وعن أَبُو سَلَمَةَ هِشَامُ بْنُ عَمْرٍو الْقُرَشِيُّ قَالَ: قَالَ رَجُلٌ لِلْعَبَّاسِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ: إِنِّي أَتَيْتُكَ لِحَاجَةٍ صَغِيرَةٍ. فَقَالَ لَهُ: اطْلُبْ لَهَا رَجُلًا صَغِيرًا. يَقْطِينُ بْنُ مُوسَى يَقْطِينُ بْنُ مُوسَى. كَانَ أَحَدَ الدُّعَاةِ إِلَى دَوْلَةِ بَنِي الْعَبَّاسِ، وَكَانَ حَازِمًا دَاهِيَةً، وَلَمَّا حَبَسَ مَرْوَانُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ إِبْرَاهِيمَ الْإِمَامَ تَحَيَّرَتِ الشِّيعَةُ فَلَمْ تَدْرِ مَنِ الْإِمَامُ بَعْدَهُ، فَقَالَ لَهُمْ يَقْطِينُ: أَنَا أُعْلِمُكُمْ. فَمَضَى إِلَى الشَّامِ فَوَقَفَ لِمَرْوَانَ، فَقَالَ: يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ، أَنَا رَجُلٌ تَاجِرٌ، قَدِمْتُ بِمَتَاعٍ، فَأُدْخِلْتُ إِلَى هَيْئَةٍ فَابْتَاعَهُ مِنِّي، وَلَمْ يَزَلْ يُسَوِّفُنِي بِثَمَنِهِ، حَتَّى جَاءَتْ رُسُلُكَ فَحَبَسَتْهُ، فَإِنْ رَأَيْتَ أَنْ تَجْمَعَ بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَهُ وَتَأْخُذَ لِي بِحَقِّي. فَقَالَ مَرْوَانُ لِبَعْضِ خَدَمِهِ: يَا غُلَامُ، امْضِ مَعَهُ إِلَى إِبْرَاهِيمَ وَقُلْ لَهُ أَخْرِجْ لِهَذَا مِنْ حَقِّهِ. فَمَضَى مَعَهُ إِلَيْهِ، فَلَمَّا رَآهُ قَالَ: يَا عَدُوَّ اللَّهِ، إِلَى مَتَى تَمْطُلُنِي وَمَنْ أَمَرْتَ بِدَفْعِ مَالِي إِلَيَّ ؟. فَقَالَ: إِلَى ابْنِ الْحَارِثِيَّةِ. فَعَادَ إِلَى الشِّيعَةِ فَأَعْلَمَهُمْ أَنَّ أَبَا الْعَبَّاسِ هُوَ الْإِمَامُ بَعْدَهُ. وَفِيهَا تُوُفِّيَ خَالِدُ بْنُ الْحَارِثِ. وَبِشْرُ بْنُ الْمُفَضَّلِ. وَأَبُو إِسْحَاقَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ الْفَزَارِيُّ. وَفِيهَا مَاتَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ صَالِحِ بْنِ عَبْدِ

✧ Those of the notables who died in this year Aṣbagh b. ʿAbd al-ʿAzīz b. Marwān b. al-Ḥakam, Abū Zayyān Aṣbagh b. ʿAbd al-ʿAzīz b. Marwān b. al-Ḥakam, Abū Zayyān. ʿAwn b. ʿAbd Allāh reported from him, saying: Aṣbagh said to me: I heard from your father words by which God benefited me: “For the imam to err in pardoning is better than to err in punishing.” Aṣbagh died in Ramaḍān of this year. Ḥassān b. Ibrāhīm, Abū Hishām al-ʿAnazī al-Kūfī, judge of Kirmān Ḥassān b. Ibrāhīm, Abū Hishām al-ʿAnazī al-Kūfī, judge of Kirmān. He was born in the year 86. He saw Muḥārib b. Dithār, heard Hishām b. ʿUrwa and al-Thawrī, and ʿAffān b. Muslim narrated from him. Yaḥyā deemed him trustworthy. He died in this year at the age of one hundred. Salm al-Khāsir the poet Salm al-Khāsir the poet. He is Salm b. ʿAmr b. Ḥammād b. ʿAṭāʾ. It is said that he was a client of Abū Bakr al-Ṣiddīq ؓ. And it is said: rather, a client of al-Mahdī. They differed as to why he was called al-Khāsir. Al-Yazīdī said: He inherited from his father one hundred thousand dirhams [and obtained from the praises of kings one hundred thousand dirhams] and spent all of it on literature [and its people]. Al-Aṣfahānī reported: He inherited from his father a muṣḥaf and sold it and bought with its price a ṭunbūr. Al-Ṣūlī mentioned that al-Rashīd said to him: Why were you called al-Khāsir? He said: As a boy I sold a muṣḥaf and bought with its price the poetry of Imruʾ al-Qays, though God later granted me memorization of the Qurʾān. He said to him: Then you are now al-Rābiḥ. He said: It was also said that one day they saw him in the market of notebooks having sold a muṣḥaf for the poetry of al-Aʿshā, and people said to him: By God, you are al-Khāsir. So it stuck to him. He said: He was highly capable in poetry, to the extent that he invented poetry on a single letter, something unprecedented. The least poetry heard from the Arabs was on two letters, such as the saying of Durayd b. al-Ṣimma: Yā laytanī fīhā jadhaʿ akhubbu fīhā wa-aḍaʿ Salm [al-Khāsir] composed for Mūsā al-Hādī poetry on a single letter, among it: Mūsā al-maṭar ghayth bakar thumma inhamar kam iʿtasar thumma iqtasar wa-kam qadar thumma ghafar ʿadl al-siyar bāqī al-athar khayr al-bashar farʿ Muḍar badr badar li-man naẓar huwa al-wazar li-man ḥaḍar wa-l-muftakhar li-man ghabar wa-l-mujtabir li-man ʿathar Al-Khaṭīb mentioned that he followed a disapproved path of frivolity, dissoluteness, and immorality. Then he stripped himself and abandoned that, so his condition became poor, and he grieved over that, and returned to worse than what he had been on before. He sold a muṣḥaf he owned and bought with its price a notebook containing poetry, and his story spread among the people, so they called him Salm al-Khāsir because of that. He was one of the excellent poets and was among the students of Bashshār. He began to compose poetry more delicate than his, so Bashshār became angry. Bashshār had said: Man rāqaba al-nāsa lam yaẓfar bi-ḥājatihi wa-fāza bi-l-ṭayyibāti al-fātiku al-lahiju And he said: Man rāqaba al-nāsa māta ghamman wa-fāza bi-l-ladhdhati al-jasūru Bashshār became angry and said: By God, my verse is gone. You take the meanings I labored over and clothe them in words lighter than my words!? I am not pleased with you. They kept pleading with him until he was pleased with him. From al-Jawwānī al-Hāshimī, who said: My father narrated to me, saying: Salm had earned wealth with his ode praising al-Mahdī, the beginning of which is: Ḥaḍara al-raḥīlu wa-shuddat al-aḥdāju wa-ḥadā bihinna mushammarun mizʿāju Sharibat bi-Makkata min dhurā baṭḥāʾihā māʾa al-nubuwwati laysa fīhi mizāju Al-Mahdī had given [Hārūn] b. Abī Ḥafṣa one hundred thousand dirhams for the ode whose beginning is: Ṭaraqatka zāʾiratan fa-ḥayyi khayālahā He wanted to give Salm less than this prize, but Salm swore that he would accept only one hundred thousand dirhams and one thousand dirhams, and said: Let the two odes be submitted to the people of learning so that they may judge by preferring my ode. So al-Mahdī sent him one hundred thousand dirhams and one thousand dirhams. When it reached the time of al-Rashīd, he composed his ode whose beginning is: Qul li-l-manāzili bi-l-kathībi al-aʿfari asqayta ghādiyata al-saḥābi al-mumṭiri Qad bāyaʿa al-thaqalāni Mahdiyya al-hudā li-Muḥammad ibn Zubaydata bint Jaʿfar Zubayda stuffed his mouth with pearls, and he sold them for twenty thousand dinars. This was when al-Rashīd gave allegiance to Muḥammad b. Zubayda. Salm died in the days of al-Rashīd, having accumulated wealth worth thirty-six thousand dinars, which he deposited with Abū al-Samrāʾ al-Ghassānī, and it remained with him. On the day of the feast, Ibrāhīm al-Mawṣilī came to al-Rashīd and sang to him and delighted him. He said: O Ibrāhīm, ask whatever you wish. He said: Yes, my lord, I ask for something that will not diminish you. He said: What is it? He said: Salm has died with no heir, and he left thirty-six thousand dinars with Abū al-Samrāʾ al-Ghassānī. Order him to pay it to me. So he sent to him to pay it to him, and he paid it. Later al-Jammāz and his father came seeking Salm's inheritance, claiming they were his relatives. In one narration: His estate was fifty thousand dinars. They mentioned that when Abū al-ʿAtāhiya said: Taʿālā Allāhu yā Salma b. ʿAmara wa-dhalla al-ḥirṣu aʿnāqa al-rijāli Salm became angry and said: He claims that I am greedy. Then he replied to him: Mā aqbaḥa al-tazhīda min wāʿiẓin yuzahhidu al-nāsa wa-lā yazhadu Law kāna fī tazhīdihi ṣādiqan aḍḥā wa-amsā baytuhu al-masjida Wa-rafaḍa al-dunyā fa-lam yalqahā wa-lam yaku yasʿā wa-yastarfidu [Yakhāfu an tanfadha arzāquhu wa-l-rizqu ʿinda Allāhi lā yanfadu] Wa-l-rizqu maqsūmun ʿalā mā tarā yanāluhu al-abyaḍu wa-l-aswadu Kullan yuwaffā rizqahu kāmilan man kaffa ʿan juhdin wa-man yajhadu Abū Haffān said: Salm received from the Barāmika alone twenty thousand dinars, and from al-Rashīd the like of it. Shuqrān b. ʿAlī al-Ifrīqī Shuqrān b. ʿAlī al-Ifrīqī, the master of inheritance law. He was a righteous man, proverbial for his worship. He died in this year. ʿAmr b. Zurāra b. Wāqid, Abū Muḥammad, al-Kilābī al-Naysābūrī ʿAmr b. Zurāra b. Wāqid, Abū Muḥammad, al-Kilābī al-Naysābūrī. He heard Muʿādh b. Muʿādh, Sufyān b. ʿUyayna, Hushaym b. Bashīr, Ibn ʿUlayya, and others. He recited the Qurʾān to ʿAlī b. Ḥamza al-Kisāʾī. Al-Bukhārī, Muslim, and others narrated from him. He was above reproach. Al-ʿAbbās b. Muḥammad b. ʿAlī b. ʿAbd Allāh [b.] al-ʿAbbās al-ʿAbbās b. Muḥammad b. ʿAlī b. ʿAbd Allāh [b.] al-ʿAbbās. He was one of the eminent men of Banū Hāshim and governed the Jazīra in the days of al-Rashīd. He was among the most judicious of people, and al-Rashīd used to say: My uncle al-ʿAbbās reminds us of our forefathers. From Aḥmad b. Ibrāhīm b. ʿArafa, who said: Al-ʿAbbās died in the year 185. Al-ʿAbbās b. Muḥammad — to whom al-ʿAbbāsiyya is attributed — was appointed over the Jazīra, and he went to al-Raqqa. Al-Rashīd ordered that it be furnished for him in the palace of the emirate, that implements be prepared for him there, that it be stocked with slaves, and that five million dirhams be carried to him. In the year 186 al-ʿAbbās died in Baghdad in Rajab. Al-Amīn prayed over him, and he was buried in al-ʿAbbāsiyya at the age of sixty-five years, six months, and sixteen days. From Abū Salama Hishām b. ʿAmr al-Qurashī, who said: A man said to al-ʿAbbās b. Muḥammad: I have come to you for a small need. He said to him: Seek for it a small man. Yaqṭīn b. Mūsā Yaqṭīn b. Mūsā. He was one of the propagandists for the Abbasid state, and he was resolute and shrewd. When Marwān b. Muḥammad imprisoned Ibrāhīm the Imam, the Shīʿa were bewildered and did not know who the Imam after him was. Yaqṭīn said to them: I will inform you. He went to Syria and stood before Marwān and said: O Commander of the Faithful, I am a merchant who arrived with goods, and I was brought in to a certain person who bought them from me. He kept putting me off with the price until your messengers came and imprisoned him. If you see fit, bring me together with him and take my right for me. Marwān said to one of his servants: O boy, go with him to Ibrāhīm and tell him to pay this man his due. So he went with him to him. When he saw him, he said: O enemy of God, how long will you delay me, and whom have you ordered to pay me my money? He said: To the son of al-Ḥārithiyya. So he returned to the Shīʿa and informed them that Abū al-ʿAbbās was the Imam after him. In this year died Khālid b. al-Ḥārith, Bishr b. al-Mufaḍḍal, and Abū Isḥāq Ibrāhīm b. Muḥammad al-Fazārī.
