ذِكْرُ عِدَّةِ حَوَادِثَ وَفِيهَا وَرَدَ عَلَى الْمُسْتَعِينِ وَفَاةُ طَاهِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ طَاهِرٍ بِخُرَاسَانَ فِي رَجَبٍ، فَعَقَدَ الْمُسْتَعِينُ لِابْنِهِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ طَاهِرٍ عَلَى خُرَاسَانَ، وَلِمُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ طَاهِرٍ عَلَى الْعِرَاقِ، وَجَعَلَ إِلَيْهِ الْحَرَمَيْنِ، وَالشُّرْطَةَ، وَمَعَاوِنَ السَّوَادِ، وَأَفْرَدَهُ بِهِ. وَفِيهَا مَاتَ بُغَا الْكَبِيرُ، فَعَقَدَ لِابْنِهِ مُوسَى عَلَى أَعْمَالِ أَبِيهِ كُلِّهَا، وَوَلِيَ دِيوَانَ الْبَرِيدِ. وَفِيهَا وَجَّهَ أَنُوجُورَ التُّرْكِيَّ إِلَى أَبِي الْعَمُودِ الثَّعْلَبِيِّ، فَقَتَلَهُ بِكَفَرتُوثَى لِخَمْسٍ بَقِينَ مِنْ رَبِيعٍ الْآخِرِ. وَفِيهَا خَرَجَ عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ يَحْيَى بْنِ خَاقَانَ إِلَى الْحَجِّ، فَوَجَّهَ خَلْفَهُ رَسُولٌ يَنْفِيهِ إِلَى بَرْقَةَ، وَيَمْنَعُهُ مِنَ الْحَجِّ. وَفِيهَا ابْتَاعَ الْمُسْتَعِينُ مِنَ الْمُعْتَزِّ وَالْمُؤَيَّدِ جَمِيعَ مَالِهِمَا وَأَشْهَدَا عَلَيْهِمَا الْقُضَاةَ وَالْفُقَهَاءَ، وَكَانَ الشِّرَاءُ بَاسِمِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ الْمُخَلِّدِ لِلْمُسْتَعِينِ، وَتَرَكَ لِلْمُعْتَزِّ مَا يَتَحَصَّلُ مِنْهُ فِي السَّنَةِ عِشْرُونَ أَلْفَ دِينَارٍ، وَلِلْمُؤَيَّدِ مَا يَتَحَصَّلُ مِنْهُ فِي السَّنَةِ خَمْسَةُ آلَافِ دِينَارٍ، وَجُعِلَا فِي حُجْرَةٍ فِي الْجَوْسَقِ، وَوَكَّلَ بِهِمَا، وَكَانَ الْأَتْرَاكُ حِينَ شَغَبَ الْغَوْغَاءُ أَرَادُوا قَتْلَهُمَا، فَمَنَعَهُمْ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ الْخَصِيبِ وَقَالَ: لَا ذَنْبَ لَهُمَا، وَلَكِنِ احْبِسُوهُمَا، فَحَبَسُوهُمَا. وَفِيهَا غَضِبَ الْمَوَالِي عَلَى أَحْمَدَ بْنِ الْخَصِيبِ فِي جُمَادَى الْآخِرَةِ، وَاسْتُصْفِيَ مَالُهُ وَمَالُ وَلَدِهِ، وَنُفِيَ إِلَى أَقْرِيطِشَ. وَفِيهَا صَرَفَ عَلِيَّ بْنَ يَحْيَى الْأَرْمَنِيَّ عَنِ الثُّغُورِ الشَّامِيَّةِ، وَعَقَدَ لَهُ عَلَى أَرْمِينِيَّةَ وَأَذْرَبِيجَانَ فِي شَهْرِ رَمَضَانَ. وَفِيهَا شَغَبَ أَهْلُ حِمْصَ عَلَى كَيْدَرَ عَامِلِهِمْ فَأَخْرَجُوهُ، فَوَجَّهَ إِلَيْهِمُ الْمُسْتَعِينُ الْفَضْلَ بْنَ قَارَنَ، فَأَخَذَهُمْ، فَقَتَلَ مِنْهُمْ خَلْقًا كَثِيرًا، وَحَمَلَ مِنْهُمْ مِائَةً مِنْ أَعْيَانِهِمْ إِلَى سَامَرَّا. وَفِيهَا غَزَا الصَّائِفَةَ وَصِيفٌ، وَكَانَ مُقِيمًا بِالثَّغْرِ الشَّامِيِّ، فَدَخَلَ بِلَادَ الرُّومِ، فَافْتَتَحَ حِصْنَ فرورية. وَفِيهَا عَقَدَ الْمُسْتَعِينُ لِأُوتَامِشَ عَلَى مِصْرَ وَالْمَغْرِبِ، وَاتَّخَذَهُ وَزِيرًا. وَفِيهَا عَقَدَ لِبُغَا الشَّرَابِيِّ عَلَى حُلْوَانَ، وَمَاسَبَذَانَ، وَمِهْرَجَانَ قَذَفَ، وَجَعَلَ الْمُسْتَعِينُ شَاهَكَ الْخَادِمَ عَلَى دَرِاهِ وَكُرَاعِهِ، وَحَرَمِهِ، وَحُرَّاسِهِ، وَخَاصِّ أُمُورِهِ، وَقَدَّمَهُ وَأُتَامِشَ ( عَلَى جَمِيعِ النَّاسِ ). وَحَجَّ بِالنَّاسِ هَذِهِ السَّنَةَ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ الزَّيْنَبِيُّ. وَفِيهَا تَحَرَّكَ يَعْقُوبُ بْنُ اللَّيْثِ الصَّفَّارِ مِنْ سِجِسْتَانَ نَحْوَ هَرَاةَ. وَفِيهَا كَانَ بِصِقِلِّيَّةَ سَرَايَا لِلْمُسْلِمِينَ، فَغَنِمَتْ وَعَادَتْ، وَلَمْ يَكُنْ حَرْبٌ بَيْنَهُمْ تُذْكَرُ ). وَفِيهَا سَارَتْ سَرِيَّةٌ فِي الْأَنْدَلُسِ إِلَى ذِي تَرُوجَةَ، وَكَانَ الْمُشْرِكُونَ قَدْ تَطَاوَلُوا إِلَى ذَلِكَ الْجَانِبِ، فَلَقِيَتْهُمُ السَّرِيَّةُ، فَأَصَابُوا مِنَ الْمُشْرِكِينَ، وَقَتَلُوا كَثِيرًا مِنْهُمْ. وَفِي هَذِهِ السَّنَةِ: خَرَجَ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عُمَرَ الشَّارِي بِنَاحِيَةِ الْمَوْصِلِ، فَوَجَّهَ إِلَيْهِ الْمُنْتَصِرُ إِسْحَاقَ بْنَ ثَابِتٍ الْفَرْغَانِيَّ، فَأَخَذَهُ أَسِيرًا مَعَ عِدَّةٍ [مِنْ] أَصْحَابِهِ، فَقُتِلُوا وَصُلِبُوا. وَوَهَبَ الْمُسْتَعِينُ لِأَحْمَدَ بْنِ الْخَصِيبِ فَرْشَ الْجَعْفَرِيِّ، فَحُمِلَتْ عَلَى نَحْوٍ مِنْ مِائَتَيْنِ وَخَمْسِينَ بَعِيرًا، وَقِيلَ: كَانَتْ قِيمَتُهَا أَلْفَ أَلْفِ دِرْهَمٍ، وَوَهَبَ لَهُ دَارَ خَتْيَشُوعَ، وَأَقْطَعَهُ غَلَّةَ مِائَتَيْ أَلْفٍ وَخَمْسِينَ أَلْفًا، وَأَمَرَ لَهُ بِأَلْفِ قِطْعَةٍ مِنْ فَرْشِ أُمِّ الْمُتَوَكِّلِ، ثُمَّ سَخِطَ عَلَيْهِ الْمُسْتَعِينُ فَقُبِضَتْ أَمْوَالُهُ، وَنُفِيَ إِلَى أَقْرِيطِشَ.

✧ Mention of several events In this year, news reached al-Mustaʿīn of the death of Ṭāhir b. ʿAbd Allāh b. Ṭāhir in Khurāsān in Rajab. Al-Mustaʿīn then appointed his son Muḥammad b. Ṭāhir over Khurāsān, and Muḥammad b. ʿAbd Allāh b. Ṭāhir over Iraq, and entrusted to him the Two Holy Sanctuaries, the police, and the land-tax offices of the Sawād, granting him sole authority over them. In this year, Bughā the Elder died, and his son Mūsā was appointed over all his father's offices, and he took charge of the postal bureau. In this year, Anūjūr al-Turkī was sent against Abū al-ʿAmūd al-Thaʿlabī, and he killed him at Kafartūthā with five nights remaining of Rabīʿ al-Ākhir. In this year, ʿUbayd Allāh b. Yaḥyā b. Khāqān set out for the pilgrimage, but a messenger was sent after him to exile him to Barqa and prevent him from performing the pilgrimage. In this year, al-Mustaʿīn purchased from al-Muʿtazz and al-Muʾayyad all their property, and had judges and jurists witness against them. The purchase was made in the name of al-Ḥasan b. al-Mukhallid for al-Mustaʿīn. He left for al-Muʿtazz an income of twenty thousand dinars a year, and for al-Muʾayyad an income of five thousand dinars a year. They were placed in a chamber in the Jawsaq, and guards were set over them. When the mob rioted, the Turks wanted to kill them, but Aḥmad b. al-Khaṣīb prevented them, saying, 'They have committed no crime; rather, imprison them.' So they imprisoned them. In this year, the mawālī became angry with Aḥmad b. al-Khaṣīb in Jumādā al-Ākhirah. His wealth and that of his son were confiscated, and he was exiled to Crete. In this year, ʿAlī b. Yaḥyā al-Armanī was dismissed from the Syrian frontiers, and he was appointed over Armenia and Ādharbayjān in the month of Ramaḍān. In this year, the people of Ḥimṣ rioted against Kaydar, their governor, and expelled him. Al-Mustaʿīn sent al-Faḍl b. Qārin against them, and he seized them, killing many of them and carrying one hundred of their notables to Sāmarrā. In this year, Waṣīf led the summer expedition. He had been stationed at the Syrian frontier, and he entered Byzantine territory and conquered the fortress of Furūriyya. In this year, al-Mustaʿīn appointed Ūtāmish over Egypt and the Maghrib, and made him his vizier. In this year, he appointed Bughā al-Sharābī over Ḥulwān, Māsabadhān, and Mihrajān Qadhaq. Al-Mustaʿīn placed Shāhak the eunuch over his residences, his horses, his harem, his guards, and his private affairs, and gave him and Ūtāmish precedence over all the people. The people performed the pilgrimage this year under Muḥammad b. Sulaymān al-Zaynabī. In this year, Yaʿqūb b. al-Layth al-Ṣaffār moved from Sijistān toward Herat. In this year, there were Muslim raiding parties in Sicily, which took booty and returned, and there was no war between them worth mentioning. In this year, a raiding party in al-Andalus marched to Dhū Tarūja, for the polytheists had encroached upon that side. The raiding party met them, inflicted losses on the polytheists, and killed many of them. In this year, Muḥammad b. ʿUmar al-Shārī rebelled in the region of Mosul. Al-Muntaṣir sent Isḥāq b. Thābit al-Farghānī against him, and he took him captive along with a number of his companions. They were killed and crucified. Al-Mustaʿīn gave Aḥmad b. al-Khaṣīb the furnishings of al-Jaʿfarī, which were carried on about two hundred and fifty camels. It was said that their value was one million dirhams. He also gave him the house of Khtayshūʿ, granted him the revenue of two hundred and fifty thousand, and ordered for him one thousand pieces of the furnishings of Umm al-Mutawakkil. Then al-Mustaʿīn became angry with him, his wealth was confiscated, and he was exiled to Crete.
