ظُهُورِ عَلِيِّ بْنِ زَيْدٍ عَلَى الْكُوفَةِ وَخُرُوجِهِ عَنْهَا فِي سنة ست وخمسين ومائتين ظَهَرَ عَلِيُّ بْنُ زَيْدٍ الْعَلَوِيُّ بِالْكُوفَةِ، وَاسْتَوْلَى عَلَيْهَا، وَأَزَالَ عَنْهَا نَائِبَ الْخَلِيفَةِ، وَاسْتَقَرَّ بِهَا. فَسُيِّرَ إِلَيْهِ الشَّاهُ بْنُ مِيكَالَ فِي جَيْشٍ كَثِيفٍ، فَالْتَقَوْا وَاقْتَتَلُوا، فَانْهَزَمَ الشَّاهُ، وَقُتِلَ جَمَاعَةٌ كَثِيرَةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِهِ، وَنَجَا الشَّاهُ. ثُمَّ وَجَّهَ الْمُعْتَمِدُ إِلَى مُحَارَبَتِهِ كِيجُورَ التُّرْكِيَّ، وَأَمَرَهُ أَنْ يَدْعُوَهُ إِلَى الطَّاعَةِ، وَيَبْذُلَ لَهُ الْأَمَانَ، فَسَارَ ( كِيجُورُ فَنَزَلَ بِشَاهِي، وَأَرْسَلَ إِلَى عَلِيِّ بْنِ زَيْدٍ يَدْعُوهُ إِلَى الطَّاعَةِ، وَبَذَلَ لَهُ الْأَمَانَ )، فَطَلَبَ عَلِيٌّ أُمُورًا لَمْ يُجِبْهُ إِلَيْهَا كِيجُورُ، فَتَنَحَّى عَلِيُّ بْنُ زَيْدٍ عَنِ الْكُوفَةِ إِلَى الْقَادِسِيَّةِ، فَعَسْكَرَ بِهَا، وَدَخَلَ كِيجُورُ إِلَى الْكُوفَةِ ثَالِثَ شَوَّالٍ مِنَ السَّنَةِ، وَمَضَى عَلِيُّ بْنُ زَيْدٍ إِلَى خَفَّانَ، وَدَخَلَ بِلَادَ بَنِي أَسَدٍ، وَكَانَ قَدْ صَاهَرَهُمْ، وَأَقَامَ هُنَاكَ، ثُمَّ سَارَ إِلَى جُنْبُلَاءَ. وَبَلَغَ كِيجُورَ خَبَرُهُ، فَأَسْرَى إِلَيْهِ مِنَ الْكُوفَةِ سَلْخَ ذِي الْحِجَّةِ مِنَ السَّنَةِ، فَوَاقَعَهُ، فَانْهَزَمَ عَلِيُّ بْنُ زَيْدٍ، وَطَلَبَهُ كِيجُورُ فَفَاتَهُ، وَقَتَلَ نَفَرًا مِنْ أَصْحَابِهِ، وَأَسَرَ آخَرِينَ، وَعَادَ كِيجُورُ إِلَى الْكُوفَةِ ; فَلَمَّا اسْتَقَامَتْ أُمُورُهَا عَادَ إِلَى سُرَّ مَنْ رَأَى بِغَيْرِ أَمْرِ الْخَلِيفَةِ، فَوَجَّهَ إِلَيْهِ الْخَلِيفَةُ نَفَرًا مِنَ الْقُوَّادِ، فَقَتَلُوهُ بِعُكْبَرَا فِي رَبِيعٍ الْأَوَّلِ سَنَةَ سَبْعٍ وَخَمْسِينَ وَمِائَتَيْنِ.

✧ The appearance of ʿAlī b. Zayd over al-Kūfah and his departure from it In the year two hundred and fifty-six, ʿAlī b. Zayd al-ʿAlawī appeared in al-Kūfah, took possession of it, removed the caliph’s deputy from it, and established himself there. Al-Shāh b. Mīkāl was sent against him with a dense army. They met and fought, and al-Shāh was defeated, a large number of his companions were killed, and al-Shāh escaped. Then al-Muʿtamid directed Kījūr al-Turkī to fight him, and ordered him to summon him to obedience and offer him safe-conduct. Kījūr set out and encamped at Shāhī, and sent to ʿAlī b. Zayd summoning him to obedience and offering him safe-conduct. ʿAlī requested matters to which Kījūr did not agree, so ʿAlī b. Zayd withdrew from al-Kūfah to al-Qādisiyyah, and encamped there. Kījūr entered al-Kūfah on the third of Shawwāl of the year. ʿAlī b. Zayd went on to Khaffān, and entered the lands of the Banū Asad, with whom he had married, and stayed there. Then he marched to Junbulāʾ. His news reached Kījūr, who hurried to him from al-Kūfah at the end of Dhū al-Ḥijjah of the year. He engaged him, and ʿAlī b. Zayd was defeated. Kījūr pursued him but he escaped, and he killed a number of his companions and captured others. Kījūr returned to al-Kūfah. When its affairs became settled, he returned to Surra man raʾā without the caliph’s order. The caliph sent a group of commanders against him, and they killed him at ʿUkbarā in Rabīʿ al-Awwal of the year two hundred and fifty-seven.
