The year 190 AH
وَفِي سنة تسعين ومائة: غَزَا الرَّشِيدُ الصَّائِفَةَ - وَهِيَ بِلَادُ الرُّومِ - فِي رَجَبٍ ، وَاسْتَخْلَفَ الْمَأْمُونَ بِالرِّقَّةِ، وَفَوَّضَ إِلَيْهِ الْأُمُورَ، وَكَتَبَ إِلَى الْآفَاقِ بِالسَّمْعِ وَالطَّاعَةِ، وَدَفَعَ إِلَيْهِ خَاتَمَ الْمَنْصُورِ يَتَيَمَّنُ بِهِ، وَهُوَ خَاتَمُ الْخَاصَّةِ، وَنَقْشُهُ: "اللَّهُ ثِقَتِي آمَنْتُ بِهِ". وَفِيهَا: خَرَجَتِ الرُّومُ إِلَى عَيْنِ زَرِبَةَ، وَكَنِيسَةِ السَّوْدَاءِ، فَأَغَارَتْ وَأُسِرَتْ، فَاسْتَنْقَذَ أَهْلُ الْمِصِّيصَةِ مَا أَخَذُوا. وَفِيهَا: نَقَضَ أَهْلُ قُبْرُسَ الْعَهْدَ، فَغَزَاهُمْ مَعْيُوفٌ وَسَبَى أَهْلَهَا. وَفِيهَا: حَجَّ بِالنَّاسِ عِيسَى بْنُ مُوسَى الْهَادِي. وَخَرَجَ فِي هَذِهِ السَّنَةِ خَارِجِيٌّ مِنْ نَاحِيَةِ عَبْدِ الْقَيْسِ ، يُقَالُ لَهُ سَيْفُ بْنُ بُكَيْرٍ، فَوَجَّهَ إِلَيْهِ الرَّشِيدُ مُحَمَّدَ بْنَ يَزِيدَ بْنِ مَزَيْدٍ، فَقَتَلَهُ بِعَيْنِ النَّوْرَةِ. وَفِيهَا أَسْلَمَ الْفَضْلُ بْنُ سَهْلٍ عَلَى يَدِ الْمَأْمُونِ ، وَقِيلَ بَلْ أَسْلَمَ أَبُوهُ سَهْلٌ عَلَى يَدِ الْمَهْدِيِّ، وَكَانَ مَحْبُوسًا، وَقِيلَ أَسْلَمَ الْفَضْلُ وَأَخُوهُ الْحَسَنُ عَلَى يَدِ يَحْيَى بْنِ خَالِدٍ، فَاخْتَارَهُ يَحْيَى لِخِدْمَةِ الْمَأْمُونِ، فَلِهَذَا كَانَ الْفَضْلُ يَرْعَى الْبَرَامِكَةَ، وَيُثْنِي عَلَيْهِمْ، وَلُقِّبَ بِذِي الرِّئَاسَتَيْنِ لِأَنَّهُ تَقَلَّدَ الْوِزَارَةَ وَالسَّيْفَ، وَكَانَ يَتَشَيَّعُ، وَهُوَ الَّذِي أَشَارَ عَلَى الْمَأْمُونِ بِالْعَهْدِ لِعَلِيِّ بْنِ مُوسَى الرِّضَى - عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ -. وَكَانَ عَلَى الْمَوْصِلِ هَذِهِ السَّنَةَ خَالِدُ بْنُ يَزِيدَ بْنِ حَاتِمِ بْنِ قَبِيصَةَ بْنِ الْمُهَلَّبِ، وَلَمَّا دَخَلَ الْمَوْصِلَ انْكَسَرَ لِوَاؤُهُ فِي ( بَابِ الْمَدِينَةِ )، فَتَطَيَّرَ مِنْهُ، وَكَانَ مَعَهُ أَبُو الشِّيصِ الشَّاعِرُ، فَقَالَ فِي ذَلِكَ: مَا كَانَ مُنْكَسِرَ اللِّوَاءِ لِطِيرَةٍ تُخْشَى وَلَا أَمْرٍ يَكُونُ مُوَيِّلَا لَكِنَّ هَذَا الرُّمْحَ أَضْعَفَ رُكْنَهُ صِغَرُ الْوِلَايَةِ فَاسْتَقَلَّ الْمَوْصِلَا فَسُرِّيَ عَنْ خَالِدٍ.
Translation
✧ In the year one hundred and ninety: al-Rashīd raided the summer expedition—that is, the land of the Byzantines—in Rajab, and he appointed al-Maʾmūn as his deputy at al-Raqqah, entrusting the affairs to him, and he wrote to the horizons [the provinces] [enjoining] obedience and allegiance. He handed him the seal of al-Manṣūr to seek blessing through it; it was the seal of the elite, and its inscription was: “God is my trust; I have believed in Him.” In it [this year]: the Byzantines came out to ʿAyn Zarbah and the Church of the Black One, raiding and taking captives, and the people of al-Maṣṣīṣah recovered what they had taken. In it [this year]: the people of Cyprus violated the treaty, so Maʿyūf raided them and took its people captive. In it [this year]: ʿĪsā b. Mūsā al-Hādī led the people in the Pilgrimage. In this year a Khārijite emerged from the region of ʿAbd al-Qays, called Sayf b. Bukayr. Al-Rashīd sent against him Muḥammad b. Yazīd b. Mazyad, and he killed him at ʿAyn al-Nawrah. In it [this year] al-Faḍl b. Sahl embraced Islam at the hand of al-Maʾmūn; and it is said, rather, that his father Sahl embraced Islam at the hand of al-Mahdī, while he was imprisoned; and it is said that al-Faḍl and his brother al-Ḥasan embraced Islam at the hand of Yaḥyā b. Khālid, and Yaḥyā chose him to serve al-Maʾmūn. For this reason al-Faḍl was mindful of the Barāmikah and praised them. He was given the title Dhū al-Riʾāsatayn because he assumed both the vizierate and the sword [military command]. He was inclined to Shīʿism, and he it was who advised al-Maʾmūn to designate ʿAlī b. Mūsā al-Riḍā ﷺ. Over al-Mawṣil this year was Khālid b. Yazīd b. Ḥātim b. Qabīṣah b. al-Muhallab. When he entered al-Mawṣil, his banner broke at the City Gate, and he regarded it as an evil omen. With him was the poet Abū al-Shīṣ, who said about that: It was not that the banner was broken for an omen to be feared, nor for a matter that would lead to ruin; but this lance had its corner weakened by the smallness of the governorship, so al-Mawṣil scorned it. And Khālid was relieved.
