ذِكْرُ وِلَايَةِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ سَهْلٍ الْعِرَاقَ وَغَيْرَهُ مِنَ الْبِلَادِ وَفِي هَذِهِ السَّنَةِ اسْتَعْمَلَ الْمَأْمُونُ الْحَسَنَ بْنَ سَهْلٍ، أَخَا الْفَضْلِ، عَلَى كُلِّ مَا كَانَ افْتَتَحَهُ طَاهِرٌ مِنْ كُوَرِ الْجِبَالِ، وَالْعِرَاقِ، وَفَارِسَ، وَالْأَهْوَازِ، وَالْحِجَازِ وَالْيَمَنِ، بَعْدَ أَنْ قُتِلَ الْأَمِينُ. وَكَتَبَ إِلَى طَاهِرٍ بِتَسْلِيمِ ذَلِكَ إِلَيْهِ، فَقَدَّمَ الْحَسَنُ بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ عَلِيَّ بْنَ أَبِي طَاهِرٍ سَعِيدٍ، فَدَافَعَهُ طَاهِرٌ بِتَسْلِيمِ الْخَرَاجِ إِلَيْهِ، حَتَّى وَفَّى الْجُنْدَ أَرْزَاقَهُمْ، وَسَلَّمَ إِلَيْهِ الْعَمَلَ. وَقَدِمَ الْحَسَنُ سَنَةَ تِسْعٍ وَتِسْعِينَ [ وَمِائَةٍ ]، وَفَرَّقَ الْعُمَّالَ. وَأَمَرَ طَاهِرًا أَنْ يَسِيرَ إِلَى الرَّقَّةِ لِمُحَارَبَةِ نَصْرِ بْنِ شَبَثٍ الْعُقَيْلِيِّ، وَوَلَّاهُ الْمَوْصِلَ وَالْجَزِيرَةَ وَالشَّامَ وَالْمَغْرِبَ، فَسَارَ طَاهِرٌ إِلَى قِتَالِ نَصْرِ بْنِ شَبَثٍ، وَأَرْسَلَ إِلَيْهِ يَدْعُوهُ إِلَى الطَّاعَةِ وَتَرْكِ الْخِلَافِ، فَلَمْ يُجِبْهُ إِلَى ذَلِكَ، ( فَتَقَدَّمَ إِلَيْهِ طَاهِرٌ، وَالْتَقَوْا بِنَوَاحِي كَيْسُومَ، وَاقْتَتَلُوا قِتَالًا شَدِيدًا، أَبْلَى فِيهِ نَصْرٌ بَلَاءً عَظِيمًا، وَكَانَ الظَّفَرُ لَهُ، وَعَادَ طَاهِرٌ شِبْهَ الْمَهْزُومِ إِلَى الرَّقَّةِ ). وَكَانَ قُصَارَى أَمْرِ طَاهِرٍ حِفْظَ تِلْكَ النَّوَاحِي. وَكَتَبَ الْمَأْمُونُ إِلَى هَرْثَمَةَ يَأْمُرُهُ بِالْمَسِيرِ إِلَى خُرَاسَانَ. وَحَجَّ بِالنَّاسِ الْعَبَّاسُ بْنُ مُوسَى بْنِ عِيسَى بْنِ مُوسَى بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ.
Translation
✧ Mention of the appointment of al-Ḥasan b. Sahl over Iraq and other lands In this year, al-Maʾmūn appointed al-Ḥasan b. Sahl, the brother of al-Faḍl, over all that Ṭāhir had conquered of the mountainous districts, Iraq, Fāris, al-Ahwāz, the Hijaz and Yemen, after al-Amīn was killed. He wrote to Ṭāhir to surrender that to him. Al-Ḥasan sent ahead of him ʿAlī b. Abī Ṭāhir Saʿīd, but Ṭāhir resisted surrendering the land tax to him until he had paid the troops their stipends, then he handed over the governorship to him. Al-Ḥasan arrived in the year 199 [AH], and he distributed the governors. He ordered Ṭāhir to march to al-Raqqah to fight Naṣr b. Shabath al-ʿUqaylī, and he appointed him over al-Mawṣil, al-Jazīrah, al-Shām, and al-Maghrib. Ṭāhir marched to fight Naṣr b. Shabath, and he sent to him summoning him to obedience and to abandon opposition, but he did not respond to that. (Ṭāhir advanced against him, and they met in the vicinity of Kaysūm and fought a fierce battle in which Naṣr displayed great valor, and victory was his. Ṭāhir returned to al-Raqqah like one defeated.) Ṭāhir's utmost concern was to protect those regions. Al-Maʾmūn wrote to Harthamah ordering him to march to Khurāsān. Al-ʿAbbās b. Mūsā b. ʿĪsā b. Mūsā b. Muḥammad led the people in the pilgrimage.
