ذِكْرُ عِدَّةِ حَوَادِثَ وَفِيهَا أَخَذَ أَحْمَدُ الْمُوَلَّدُ سَعْدَ بْنَ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ سَعْدٍ الْبَاهِلِيَّ، وَكَانَ قَدْ تَغَلَّبَ عَلَى الْبَطَائِحِ، وَأَفْسَدَ الطَّرِيقَ، وَحُمِلَ إِلَى سَامَرَّا، فَضُرِبَ سَبْعَمِائَةِ سَوْطٍ فَمَاتَ، وَصُلِبَ مَيِّتًا. وَحَجَّ بِالنَّاسِ الْفَضْلُ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ بْنِ إِسْمَاعِيلَ بْنِ الْعَبَّاسِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ. وَفِيهَا وَثَبَ بُسَيْلٌ الْمَعْرُوفُ بِالصَّقْلَبِيِّ، وَإِنَّمَا قِيلَ لَهُ الصَّقْلَبِيُّ، وَهُوَ مِنْ بَيْتِ الْمَمْلَكَةِ، لِأَنَّ أُمَّهُ صَقْلَبِيَّةٌ، عَلَى مِيخَائِيلَ بْنِ تُوفِيلَ مَلِكِ الرُّومِ، فَقَتَلَهُ ; وَكَانَ مُلْكُ مِيخَائِيلَ أَرْبَعًا وَعِشْرِينَ سَنَةً، وَمَلَكَ بُسَيْلُ الرُّومَ. وَفِيهَا أَقْطَعَ الْمُعْتَمِدُ مِصْرَ وَأَعْمَالَهَا لِيَارْكُوجَ التُّرْكِيِّ، فَأَقَرَّ عَلَيْهَا أَحْمَدَ بْنَ طُولُونَ. وَفِيهَا فَارَقَ عَبْدُ الْعَزِيزِ بْنُ أَبِي دُلَفٍ الرَّيَّ مِنْ غَيْرِ خَوْفٍ، وَأَخْلَاهَا، فَأَرْسَلَ إِلَيْهَا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ الْعُلْوِيُّ صَاحِبُ طَبَرِسْتَانَ الْقَاسِمَ بْنَ عَلِيِّ ( بْنِ الْقَاسِمِ ) بْنِ عَلِيٍّ الْعَلَوِيَّ الْمَعْرُوفَ بِدُلَيْسٍ، فَغَلَبَ عَلَيْهَا، فَأَسَاءَ السِّيرَةَ فِي أَهْلِهَا جِدًّا، وَقَلَعُوا أَبْوَابَ الْمَدِينَةِ، وَكَانَتْ مِنْ حَدِيدٍ، وَسَيَّرَهَا إِلَى الْحَسَنِ بْنِ زَيْدٍ، وَبَقِيَ كَذَلِكَ نَحْوَ ثَلَاثِ سِنِينَ. وَفِيهَا خَرَجَ عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُسَاوِرٍ الْخَارِجِيُّ، وَخَارِجِيٌّ آخَرُ اسْمُهُ طَوْقٌ مِنْ بَنِي زُهَيْرٍ، فَاجْتَمَعَ إِلَيْهِ أَرْبَعَةُ آلَافٍ، فَسَارَ إِلَى أَذْرَمَةَ، فَحَارَبَهَا أَهْلُهَا، فَظَفِرَ بِهِمْ، فَدَخَلَهَا بِالسَّيْفِ، وَأَخَذَ جَارِيَةً بِكْرًا فَجَعَلَهَا فَيْئًا، وَافْتَضَّهَا فِي الْمَسْجِدِ، فَجَمَعَ عَلَيْهِ الْحَسَنُ بْنُ أَيُّوبَ بْنِ أَحْمَدَ الْعَدَوِيُّ جَمْعًا كَثِيرًا، فَحَارَبَهُ فَقَتَلَهُ، وَقَطَعَ رَأْسَهُ وَأَنْفَذَهُ إِلَى سَامَرَّا. ( وَفِيهَا قُتِلَ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ خَفَاجَةَ أَمِيرُ صِقِلِّيَّةَ، قَتَلَهُ خَدَمُهُ نَهَارًا، وَكَتَمُوا قَتْلَهُ، فَلَمْ يُعْرَفْ إِلَّا مِنَ الْغَدِ. وَكَانَ الْخَدَمُ الَّذِينَ قَتَلُوهُ قَدْ هَرَبُوا، فَطُلِبُوا فَأُخِذُوا، وَقُتِلَ بَعْضُهُمْ، وَلَمَّا قُتِلَ اسْتَعْمَلَ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ الْأَغْلَبِ عَلَى صِقِلِّيَةَ أَحْمَدَ بْنَ يَعْقُوبَ بْنِ الْمَضَّاءِ بْنِ سَلَمَةَ فَلَمْ تَطُلْ أَيَّامُهُ، وَمَاتَ سَنَةَ ثَمَانٍ وَخَمْسِينَ وَمِائَتَيْنِ ). وَفِيهَا ظُفِرَ بِبَغْدَادَ - بِمَوْضِعٍ يُقَالُ لَهُ: بِرْكَةُ زَلْزَلٍ - بِرَجُلٍ خَنَّاقٍ قَدْ قَتَلَ خَلْقًا مِنَ النِّسَاءِ، فَحُمِلَ إِلَى الْمُعْتَمِدِ فَضُرِبَ بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ بِأَلْفَيْ سَوْطٍ وَأَرْبَعِمِائَةِ أَرْزَنَ فَلَمْ يَمُتْ حَتَّى ضَرَبَ الْجَلَّادُونَ عَلَى أُنْثَيَيْهِ بِخَشَبِ الْعُقَابَيْنِ فَمَاتَ، وَرُدَّ إِلَى بَغْدَادَ وَصُلِبَ هُنَاكَ، ثُمَّ أُحْرِقَتْ جُثَّتَهُ. وَفِي لَيْلَةِ الرَّابِعَ عَشَرَ مِنْ شَوَّالٍ مِنْ هَذِهِ السَّنَةِ كَسَفَ الْقَمَرُ وَغَابَ أَكْثَرُهُ. وَفِيهَا خَالَفَ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ وَاصِلٍ السُّلْطَانَ بِأَرْضِ فَارِسَ وَتَغَلَّبَ عَلَيْهَا. وَحَجَّ بِالنَّاسِ فِي هَذِهِ السَّنَةِ الْفَضْلُ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ بْنِ إِسْمَاعِيلَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ الْعَبَّاسِيُّ.

✧ Mention of several events In this year Aḥmad al-Muwallad seized Saʿd b. Aḥmad b. Saʿd al-Bāhilī, who had gained mastery over al-Baṭāʾiḥ and made the road unsafe. He was carried to Sāmarrā and beaten with seven hundred lashes, and he died; he was crucified after death. The people performed the pilgrimage under al-Faḍl b. Isḥāq b. Ismāʿīl b. al-ʿAbbās b. Muḥammad b. ʿAlī. In this year Busayl, known as al-Ṣaqlabī—he was called al-Ṣaqlabī although he belonged to the royal house, because his mother was a Ṣaqlabī—leapt upon Mīkhāʾīl b. Tūfīl, king of the Byzantines, and killed him. Mīkhāʾīl's reign had lasted twenty-four years, and Busayl became king of the Byzantines. In this year al-Muʿtamid granted Egypt and its districts as a fief to Yārkūj al-Turkī, who confirmed Aḥmad b. Ṭūlūn over it. In this year ʿAbd al-ʿAzīz b. Abī Dulaf left al-Rayy without fear and abandoned it. Al-Ḥasan b. Zayd al-ʿAlawī, lord of Ṭabaristān, sent al-Qāsim b. ʿAlī (b. al-Qāsim) b. ʿAlī al-ʿAlawī, known as Dulays, to it, and he gained mastery over it. He behaved very badly toward its people; they tore out the city gates, which were of iron, and he sent them to al-Ḥasan b. Zayd. It remained thus for about three years. In this year ʿAlī b. Musāwir al-Khārijī and another Khārijī named Ṭawq of Banū Zuhayr came out, and four thousand gathered to him. He marched to Adhrama and its people fought him, and he prevailed over them. He entered it by the sword, took a virgin girl, made her booty, and deflowered her in the mosque. Al-Ḥasan b. Ayyūb b. Aḥmad al-ʿAdawī gathered a large force against him and fought him, killed him, cut off his head, and sent it to Sāmarrā. (And in this year Muḥammad b. Khafāja, emir of Sicily, was killed. His servants killed him in daylight and concealed his death, so it was not known until the next day. The servants who killed him had fled; they were sought and seized, and some of them were killed. When he was killed, Muḥammad b. Aḥmad b. al-Aghlab appointed Aḥmad b. Yaʿqūb b. al-Maḍḍāʾ b. Salama over Sicily. His days did not last long, and he died in the year 258.) In this year there was seized in Baghdad, at a place called Birkat Zalzal, a strangler who had killed many women. He was carried to al-Muʿtamid and beaten before him with two thousand lashes and four hundred arzan, yet he did not die until the executioners struck his testicles with the wood of the two eagles, and he died. He was returned to Baghdad and crucified there, then his corpse was burned. On the night of the fourteenth of Shawwāl of this year the moon was eclipsed and most of it disappeared. In this year Muḥammad b. Wāṣil opposed the sultan in the land of Fārs and gained mastery over it. The people performed the pilgrimage in this year under al-Faḍl b. Isḥāq b. Ismāʿīl b. Muḥammad b. ʿAlī al-ʿAbbāsī.
