وفِي سنة اثنتين وخمسين ومائتين حُمِلَ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَلِيِّ بْنِ خَلَفٍ الْعَطَّارُ، وَجَمَاعَةٌ مِنَ الطَّالِبِيِّينَ، إِلَى سَامَرَّا، فِيهِمْ: أَبُو أَحْمَدَ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرِ ( بْنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ جَعْفَرِ ) بْنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ، وَأَبُو هَاشِمٍ دَاوُدُ بْنُ الْقَاسِمِ الْجَعْفَرِيُّ فِي شَعْبَانَ. وَكَانَ سَبَبُ ذَلِكَ أَنَّ رَجُلًا مِنَ الطَّالِبِيِّينَ سَارَ مِنْ بَغْدَادَ فِي جَمَاعَةٍ مِنَ الشَّاكِرِيَّةِ إِلَى نَاحِيَةِ الْكُوفَةِ، وَكَانَتْ مِنْ أَعْمَالِ أَبِي السَّاجِ، وَكَانَ مُقِيمًا بِبَغْدَاذَ، فَأَمَرَ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بِالْمَسِيرِ إِلَى الْكُوفَةِ، فَقَدَّمَ بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ خَلِيفَتَهُ عَبْدَ الرَّحْمَنِ إِلَى الْكُوفَةِ، فَلَمَّا صَارَ إِلَيْهَا رُمِيَ بِالْحِجَارَةِ، وَظَنُّوهُ جَاءَ لِحَرْبِ الْعَلَوِيِّ، فَقَالَ: لَسْتُ بِعَامِلٍ، إِنَّمَا أَنَا رَجُلٌ وُجِّهْتُ لِحَرْبِ الْأَعْرَابِ، فَكَفُّوا عَنْهُ. وَكَانَ أَبُو أَحْمَدَ الطَّالِبِيُّ الْمَذْكُورُ قَدْ وَلَّاهُ الْمُعْتَزُّ الْكُوفَةَ، بَعْدَمَا هَزَمَ مُزَاحِمَ بْنَ خَاقَانَ الْعَلَوِيَّ الَّذِي كَانَ وُجِّهَ لِقِتَالِهِ بِهَا، وَقَدْ تَقَدَّمَ ذِكْرُهُ، فَعَاثَ أَبُو أَحْمَدَ فِيهَا، وَآذَى النَّاسَ، وَأَخَذَ أَمْوَالَهُمْ وَضِيَاعَهُمْ، فَلَمَّا أَقَامَ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بِالْكُوفَةِ لَاطَفَهُ وَاسْتَمَالَهُ، حَتَّى خَالَطَهُ أَبُو أَحْمَدَ، وَآكَلَهُ وَشَارَبَهُ، حَتَّى سَارَ بِهِ، ثُمَّ خَرَجَ مُتَنَزِّهًا إِلَى بُسْتَانٍ، فَأَمْسَى وَقَدْ عَبَّأَ لَهُ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ أَصْحَابَهُ، فَقَيَّدَهُ، وَسَيَّرَهُ إِلَى بَغْدَادَ فِي رَبِيعٍ الْآخِرِ، وَوُجِدَتْ مَعَ ابْنِ أَخٍ لِمُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَلِيِّ بْنِ خَلَفٍ الْعَطَّارِ كُتُبٌ مِنَ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ زَيْدٍ، فَكَتَبَ بِخَبَرِهِ إِلَى الْمُعْتَزِّ، فَكَتَبَ إِلَى مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بِحَمْلِهِ وَحَمْلِ الطَّالِبِيِّينَ الْمَذْكُورِينَ إِلَى سَامَرَّا، فَحُمِلُوا جَمِيعًا.
Translation
✧ In the year two hundred and fifty-two, Muḥammad b. ʿAlī b. Khalaf al-ʿAṭṭār and a group of the Ṭālibīs were taken to Sāmarrā, among them: Abū Aḥmad Muḥammad b. Jaʿfar (b. al-Ḥasan b. Jaʿfar) b. al-Ḥasan b. al-Ḥasan b. ʿAlī b. Abī Ṭālib, and Abū Hāshim Dāwūd b. al-Qāsim al-Jaʿfarī, in Shaʿbān. The reason for that was that a man from the Ṭālibīs set out from Baghdād with a group of the Shākiriyya toward the vicinity of Kūfa, which was among the districts of Abū al-Sāj, who was residing in Baghdād. Muḥammad b. ʿAbd Allāh ordered the march to Kūfa, and he sent ahead of him his deputy ʿAbd al-Raḥmān to Kūfa. When he arrived there, he was pelted with stones, and they thought he had come to fight the ʿAlawī. He said: "I am not a governor; I am only a man sent to fight the Bedouins." So they refrained from him. The aforementioned Abū Aḥmad al-Ṭālibī had been appointed over Kūfa by al-Muʿtazz, after he had defeated Muzāḥim b. Khāqān the ʿAlawī who had been sent to fight him there, and his mention has already come. Abū Aḥmad wrought havoc there, harmed the people, and took their wealth and estates. When ʿAbd al-Raḥmān stayed in Kūfa, he treated him kindly and won him over, until Abū Aḥmad mixed with him, and he ate and drank with him, until he went along with him. Then he went out for recreation to a garden, and when evening came, ʿAbd al-Raḥmān had already assembled his companions for him, so he bound him and sent him to Baghdād in Rabīʿ al-Ākhir. Books from al-Ḥasan b. Zayd were found with a nephew of Muḥammad b. ʿAlī b. Khalaf al-ʿAṭṭār, so he wrote of his news to al-Muʿtazz, and he wrote to Muḥammad b. ʿAbd Allāh ordering him to carry him and the aforementioned Ṭālibīs to Sāmarrā. So they were all carried off.
