ذِكْرُ عِدَّةِ حَوَادِثَ ( وَفِي سنة تسع وخمسين ومائتين سَارَتْ سَرِيَّةٌ لِلْمُسْلِمِينَ إِلَى مَدِينَةٍ سَرَقُوسَةَ ، فَصَالَحَهَا أَهْلُهَا عَلَى أَنْ أَطْلَقُوا الْأَسْرَى الَّذِينَ كَانُوا عِنْدَهُمْ مِنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ ثَلَاثَمِائَةٍ وَسِتِّينَ أَسِيرًا، فَلَمَّا أَطْلَقُوهُمْ عَادَتْ عَنْهُمْ ). وَفِيهَا قُتِلَ كِيجُورُ، وَكَانَ سَبَبُ قَتْلِهِ أَنَّهُ كَانَ عَلَى الْكُوفَةِ، فَسَارَ عَنْهَا إِلَى سَامَرَّا بِغَيْرِ إِذَنٍ، فَأُمِرَ بِالرُّجُوعِ فَأَبَى، فَحُمِلَ إِلَيْهِ مَالٌ لِيُفَرِّقَهُ فِي أَصْحَابِهِ فَلَمْ يَقْنَعْ بِهِ، وَسَارَ حَتَّى أَتَى عُكْبَرَا، فُوُجِّهَ إِلَيْهِ مِنْ سَامَرَّا عِدَّةٌ مِنَ الْقُوَّادِ فَقَتَلُوهُ، وَحَمَلُوا رَأْسَهُ إِلَى سَامَرَّا. وَفِيهَا غَلَبَ شَرْكَبُ الْحِمَارُ عَلَى مَرْوَ، وَنَاحِيَتِهَا وَنَهَبَهَا. وَفِيهَا انْصَرَفَ يَعْقُوبُ بْنُ اللَّيْثِ عَنْ بَلْخَ، فَأَقَامَ بِقَهِسْتَانَ، وَوَلَّى عُمَّالَهُ هَرَاةَ، وَبُوشَنْجَ، وَبَاذَغِيسَ، وَانْصَرَفَ إِلَى سِجِسْتَانَ. وَفِيهَا فَارَقَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ السِّجْزِيُّ يَعْقُوبَ، وَحَاصَرَ نَيْسَابُورَ وَبِهَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ طَاهِرٍ ( قَبْلَ أَنْ يَمْلِكَهَا يَعْقُوبُ بْنُ اللَّيْثِ، فَوَجَّهَ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ طَاهِرٍ ) إِلَيْهِ الرُّسُلَ وَالْفُقَهَاءَ، فَاخْتَلَفُوا بَيْنَهُمَا، ثُمَّ وَلَّاهُ الطَّبَسَيْنِ، وَقُهِسْتَانَ. وَفِيهَا غَلَبَ الْحَسَنُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ عَلَى قُومِسَ وَدَخَلَهَا أَصْحَابُهُ. وَفِيهَا كَانَتْ وَقْعَةٌ بَيْنَ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْفَضْلِ بْنِ بَيَانٍ، وَوَهْسُوذَانَ بْنِ جُسْتَانَ الدَّيْلَمَيِّ، وَانْهَزَمَ وَهْسُوذَانُ. وَفِيهَا نَزَلَتِ الرُّومُ عَلَى سُمَيْسَاطَ، ثُمَّ نَزَلُوا عَلَى مَلْطِيَّةَ، ( وَقَاتَلَهُمْ أَهْلُهَا )، فَانْهَزَمَتِ الرُّومُ، وَقُتِلَ بِطْرِيقُ الْبَطَارِقَةِ. وَحَجَّ بِالنَّاسِ إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِسْمَاعِيلَ بْنِ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ سُلَيْمَانَ بْنِ عَلِيِّ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَبَّاسٍ الْمَعْرُوفُ بِبَرِّيَّةَ. وفِي يَوْمِ الْجُمُعَةِ لِأَرْبَعٍ بَقِينَ مِنْ رَبِيعٍ الْآخَرِ رَجَعَ أَبُو أَحْمَدَ بْنُ الْمُتَوَكِّلِ مِنْ وَاسِطَ إِلَى سَامَرَّا، وَقَدِ اسْتَخْلَفَ عَلَى حَرْبِ الْخَبِيثِ صَاحِبِ الزَّنْجِ مُحَمَّدًا الْمُلَقَّبَ بِالْمَوْلَّدِ، وَكَانَ شُجَاعًا شَهْمًا.

✧ Mention of Several Events (And in the year 259 AH, a raiding party of the Muslims marched to the city of Sarqūsah, and its people made peace with them on the condition that they release the prisoners they had from the Muslims, three hundred and sixty prisoners. When they released them, the party withdrew from them). In this year, Kījūr was killed. The reason for his killing was that he was governor of al-Kūfah, and he marched from there to Sāmarrāʾ without permission. He was ordered to return, but he refused. Then some money was carried to him to distribute among his companions, but he was not satisfied with it. He marched until he came to ʿUkbarā, whereupon a number of commanders were dispatched against him from Sāmarrāʾ, and they killed him and carried his head to Sāmarrāʾ. In this year, Sharkab the donkey-driver gained mastery over Marw and its district and plundered it. In this year, Yaʿqūb b. al-Layth departed from Balkh and encamped at Quhistān. He appointed his governors over Harāt, Būshanj, and Bādhghīs, and then departed for Sijistān. In this year, ʿAbd Allāh al-Sijzī separated from Yaʿqūb and besieged Naysābūr, where Muḥammad b. Ṭāhir was, before Yaʿqūb b. al-Layth took possession of it. Muḥammad b. Ṭāhir sent messengers and jurists to him, and they negotiated between the two. Then he appointed him over al-Ṭabasayn and Quhistān. In this year, al-Ḥasan b. Zayd gained mastery over Qūmis, and his companions entered it. In this year, there was a battle between Muḥammad b. al-Faḍl b. Bayān and Wahsūdhān b. Justān al-Daylamī, and Wahsūdhān was defeated. In this year, the Byzantines encamped at Sumaysāṭ, then encamped at Malaṭyah, and its people fought them. The Byzantines were defeated, and the patrician of the patricians was killed. The pilgrimage was led by Ibrāhīm b. Muḥammad b. Ismāʿīl b. Jaʿfar b. Sulaymān b. ʿAlī b. ʿAbd Allāh b. ʿAbbās, known as Barriyyah. On Friday, when four nights remained of Rabīʿ al-Ākhir, Abū Aḥmad b. al-Mutawakkil returned from Wāsiṭ to Sāmarrāʾ. He had appointed as his deputy over the war against the wicked one, the master of the Zanj, Muḥammad, who was nicknamed al-Muwallad. He was courageous and resolute.
