ذِكْرُ مَنْ تُوُفِّيَ فِي هَذِهِ السَّنَةِ مِنَ الْأَكَابِرِ عُجَيْفُ بْنُ عَنْبَسَةَ عُجَيْفُ بْنُ عَنْبَسَةَ. قَائِدٌ كَبِيرٌ مِنَ الْقُوَّادِ، قَدْ ذَكَرْنَا فِي الْحَوَادِثِ أَنَّهُ خَامَرَ عَلَى الْخَلِيفَةِ، فَأُخِذَ وَمُنِعَ الْمَاءَ حَتَّى مَاتَ. وَرُوِيَ أَنَّهُ قُتِلَ وَطُرِحَ تَحْتَ حَائِطٍ. [أَنْبَأَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْبَاقِي، أَنْبَأَنَا التَّنُوخِيُّ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ رَوَى عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْفَضْلِ الْجُرْجَانِيِّ أَنَّهُ تَحَدَّثَ فِي وِزَارَتِهِ لِلْمُعْتَصِمِ قَالَ: كُنْتُ أَتَوَلَّى ضِيَاعَ عُجَيْفٍ - وَهُوَ أَحَدُ الْقُوَّادِ - فَرَفَعَ عَلَيَّ أَنَّنِي جِئْتُ وَأَخْرَجْتُ الضِّيَاعَ، فَأَنْفَذَ إِلَيَّ، فَأُدْخِلْتُ عَلَيْهِ وَهُوَ يَطُوفُ فِي دَارِهِ عَلَى ضِيَاعٍ فِيهَا، فَلَمَّا رَآنِي شَتَمَنِي وَقَالَ: أَخَرَّبْتَ الضِّيَاعَ، وَنَهَبْتَ الِارْتِفَاعَ؟! وَاللَّهِ لَأَقْتُلَنَّكَ، هَاتُوا السَّيَّافَ. فَأُحْضِرْتُ وَنُحِّيتُ لِلضَّرْبِ، فَلَمَّا رَأَيْتُ ذَلِكَ ذَهَبَ عَقْلِي وَبُلْتُ عَلَى سَاقِي، فَنَظَرَ كَاتِبُهُ إِلَيَّ، فَقَالَ: أَعَزَّ اللَّهُ الْأَمِيرَ، أَنْتَ مُشْتَغِلُ الْقَلْبِ بِهَذَا الْبِنَاءِ، وَضَرْبُ هَذَا أَوْ قَتْلُهُ فِي أَيْدِينَا لَيْسَ يَفُوتُ، فَتَأْمُرُ بِحَبْسِهِ، وَانْظُرْ فِي أَمْرِهِ، فَإِنْ كَانَتِ الرُّقْعَةُ صَحِيحَةً؛ فَلَيْسَ يَفُوتُكَ عِقَابُهُ، وَإِنْ كَانَتْ بَاطِلَةً لَمْ تَسْتَعْجِلِ الْإِثْمَ وَتَنْقَطِعْ عَمَّا أَنْتَ بِسَبِيلِهِ مِنَ الْمُهِمِّ. فَأَمَرَ بِي إِلَى الْحَبْسِ فَمَكَثْتُ أَيَّامًا، وَقَتَلَ الْمُعْتَصِمُ عُجَيْفًا، فَاتَّصَلَ الْخَبَرُ بِكَاتِبِهِ فَأَطْلَقَنِي، فَخَرَجْتُ وَمَا أَهْتَدِي إِلَى حَبَّةِ فِضَّةٍ فَمَا فَوْقَهَا، فَقَصَدْتُ صَاحِبَ الدِّيوَانِ بِسُرَّ مَنْ رَأَى فَسُرَّ بِإِطْلَاقِي، وَقَلَّدَنِي عَمَلًا، فَنَزَلْتُ دَارًا، فَرَأَيْتُ مُسْتَحَمَّهَا غَيْرَ نَظِيفٍ، فَإِذَا تَلٌّ، فَجَلَسْتُ أَبُولُ عَلَيْهِ، وَخَرَجَ صَاحِبُ الدَّارِ، فَقَالَ لِي: أَتُدْرِي عَلَى أَيِّ شَيْءٍ بُلْتَ؟ قُلْتُ: عَلَى تَلٍّ تُرَابٍ. فَضَحِكَ وَقَالَ: هَذَا رَجُلٌ مِنْ قُوَّادِ السُّلْطَانِ يُعْرَفُ بِعُجَيْفٍ سَخِطَ عَلَيْهِ، وَحَمَلَهُ مُقَيَّدًا، فَلَمَّا صَارَ هَا هُنَا قُتِلَ، وَطُرِحَ فِي هَذَا الْمَكَانِ تَحْتَ حَائِطٍ، فَلَمَّا انْصَرَفَ الْعَسْكَرُ طَرَحْنَا الْحَائِطَ لِيُوَارِيَهُ مِنَ الْكِلَابِ، فَهُوَ وَاللَّهِ تَحْتَ هَذَا التَّلِّ التُّرَابِ. قَالَ: فَعَجِبْتُ مِنْ بَوْلِي خَوْفًا مِنْهُ وَمِنْ بَوْلِي عَلَى قَبْرِهِ]. أَحْمَدُ بْنُ الْحَكَمِ أَبُو عَلِيٍّ الْعَبْدِيُّ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ الْحَكَمِ أَبُو عَلِيٍّ الْعَبْدِيُّ [الْبَغْدَادِيُّ]. رَوَى عَنْ مَالِكِ بْنِ أَنَسٍ، وَإِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ سَعْدٍ، وَشَرِيكِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ. قَالَ الدَّارَقُطْنِيُّ: هُوَ مَتْرُوكُ الْحَدِيثِ. قَالَ أَبُو سَعِيدِ بْنُ يُونُسَ: قَدِمَ مِصْرَ وَتُوُفِّيَ بِهَا فِي ذِي الْقِعْدَةِ مِنْ هَذِهِ السَّنَةِ. حَسَّانُ بْنُ غَالِبِ بْنِ نَجِيحٍ حَسَّانُ بْنُ غَالِبِ بْنِ نَجِيحٍ، أَبُو الْقَاسِمِ الرُّعَيْنِيُّ. يَرْوِي عَنْ مَالِكٍ، وَاللَّيْثِ، وَابْنِ لَهِيعَةَ، وَكَانَ ثِقَةً. تُوُفِّيَ فِي رَجَبٍ هَذِهِ السَّنَةَ. خَالِدُ بْنُ خِدَاشِ بْنِ عَجْلَانَ خَالِدُ بْنُ خِدَاشِ بْنِ عَجْلَانَ، أَبُو الْهَيْثَمِ الْمُهْلَّبِيُّ، مَوْلَى آلِ الْمُهَلَّبِ بْنِ أَبِي صُفْرَةَ. حَدَّثَ عَنْ مَالِكٍ، وَحَمَّادِ بْنِ زَيْدٍ، وَخَلْقٍ كَثِيرٍ. رَوَى عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ حَنْبَلٍ، وَغَيْرِهِ. وَكَانَ ثِقَةً صَدُوقًا. تُوُفِّيَ فِي جُمَادَى الْآخِرَةِ مِنْ هَذِهِ السَّنَةِ، وَكَانَ يَخْضِبُ بِالْحِنَّاءِ. أَبُو بَكْرٍ الْبَصْرِيُّ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ حُمَيْدِ بْنِ الْأَسْوَدِ، أَبُو بَكْرٍ الْبَصْرِيُّ، ابْنُ أُخْتِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ مَهْدِيٍّ. كَانَ ضَامِنَ هَمَذَانَ، وَيُعْرَفُ بِابْنِ أَبِي الْأَسْوَدِ، وَأَبُو الْأُسُودِ هُوَ حُمَيْدٌ جَدُّهُ. سَمِعَ مَالِكَ بْنَ أَنَسٍ، وَحَمَّادَ بْنَ زَيْدٍ وَأَبَا عَوَانَةَ. رَوَى عَنْهُ: إِبْرَاهِيمُ الْحَرْبِيُّ، وَابْنُ أَبِي الدُّنْيَا - وَكَانَ حَافِظًا مُتْقِنًا. تُوُفِّيَ فِي جُمَادَى الْآخِرَةِ مِنْ هَذِهِ السَّنَةِ. الْعَبَّاسُ بْنُ الْمَأْمُونِ الْعَبَّاسُ بْنُ الْمَأْمُونِ. قَدْ ذَكَرْنَا [فِي الْحَوَادِثِ] أَنَّهُ بُويِعَ فِي السِّرِّ، وَأَرَادَ قَتْلَ الْمُعْتَصِمِ، وَذَكَرْنَا كَيْفِيَّةَ هَلَاكِهِ. وَتُوُفِّيَ فِيهَا مِنَ الْأَعْيَانِ : بَابَكُ الْخُرَّمِيُّ قُتِلَ وَصُلِبَ. وَعَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ صَالِحٍ، كَاتِبُ اللَّيْثِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ سِنَانٍ الْعَوَقِيُّ، وَمُوسَى بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ.
Translation
✧ Mention of those of the great who died in this year ʿUjayf b. ʿAnbasah ʿUjayf b. ʿAnbasah. A great commander among the commanders. We have mentioned in the events that he conspired against the caliph, so he was seized and denied water until he died. It is also reported that he was killed and thrown beneath a wall. [Muḥammad b. ʿAbd al-Bāqī informed us, al-Tanūkhī informed us, from his father, who reported from Muḥammad b. al-Faḍl al-Jurjānī that he spoke during his vizierate for al-Muʿtaṣim, saying: I was in charge of the estates of ʿUjayf—and he was one of the commanders—and it was reported to him that I had come and removed the estates, so he sent for me. I was brought in to him while he was walking about in his residence among estates therein. When he saw me, he reviled me and said: 'You have ruined the estates and plundered the revenue?! By God, I will surely kill you. Bring the swordsman.' He was brought, and I was put aside for the blow. When I saw that, my reason left me and I urinated on my legs. His secretary looked at me and said: 'May God honor the emir. You are preoccupied with this building, and striking or killing this man is in our hands and will not escape. Command that he be imprisoned, and look into his affair. If the report is true, his punishment will not escape you; and if it is false, you will not hasten into sin and be cut off from the important matter you are pursuing.' So he ordered me to prison. I remained for some days, and al-Muʿtaṣim killed ʿUjayf. The news reached his secretary, and he released me. I went out, not guiding myself to a single silver grain or anything above it. I made for the head of the dīwān at Surra man raʾā, and he was pleased at my release and entrusted me with a task. I lodged in a house, and I saw its bath was not clean, and there was a mound, so I sat urinating on it. The owner of the house came out and said to me: 'Do you know what you have urinated on?' I said: 'On a mound of earth.' He laughed and said: 'This is a man of the sultan's commanders known as ʿUjayf. He incurred anger, and he was brought in chains. When he arrived here, he was killed and thrown in this place beneath a wall. When the army departed, we threw down the wall to conceal him from the dogs. By God, he is beneath this mound of earth.' He said: I marveled at my urinating out of fear of him and at my urinating on his grave.] Aḥmad b. al-Ḥakam Abū ʿAlī al-ʿAbdī Aḥmad b. al-Ḥakam Abū ʿAlī al-ʿAbdī [al-Baghdādī].
