اسْتِيلَاءِ يَعْقُوبَ عَلَى الْأَهْوَازِ وَغَيْرِهَا وَفِيهَا أَقْبَلَ يَعْقُوبُ بْنُ اللَّيْثِ مِنْ فَارِسَ، فَلَمَّا بَلَغَ النُّوبِنْدِجَانَ انْصَرَفَ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ اللَّيْثِ عَنْ تَسْتُرَ، فَلَمَّا بَلَغَ يَعْقُوبُ جَنْدَيْسَابُورَ وَنَزَلَهَا، ارْتَحَلَ عَنْ تِلْكَ النَّاحِيَةِ كُلُّ مَنْ بِهَا مِنْ عَسْكَرِ الْخَلِيفَةِ، وَوَجَّهَ إِلَى الْأَهْوَازِ رَجُلًا مِنْ أَصْحَابِهِ يُقَالُ [ لَهُ ] الْخَضِرُ بْنُ الْعَنْبَرِ، فَلَمَّا قَارَبَهَا خَرَجَ عَنْهَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ أَبَانٍ وَمَنْ مَعَهُ مِنَ الزَّنْجِ، فَنَزَلَ نَهْرَ السِّدْرَةِ، وَدَخَلَ الْخَضِرُ الْأَهْوَازَ، وَجَعَلَ أَصْحَابُهُ، وَأَصْحَابُ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبَانٍ يُغِيرُ بَعْضُهُمْ عَلَى بَعْضٍ، وَيُصِيبُ بَعْضُهُمْ مِنْ بَعْضٍ، إِلَى أَنِ اسْتَعَدَّ عَلِيُّ بْنُ أَبَانٍ وَسَارَ إِلَى الْأَهْوَازِ، فَأَوْقَعَ بِالْخَضِرِ وَمَنْ مَعَهُ وَقْعَةً قُتِلَ فِيهَا مِنْ أَصْحَابِ الْخَضِرِ خَلْقًا كَثِيرًا، وَأَصَابَ الْغَنَائِمَ الْكَثِيرَةَ، وَهَرَبَ الْخَضِرُ وَمَنْ مَعَهُ إِلَى عَسْكَرِ مُكْرَمٍ. وَأَقَامَ عَلِيٌّ بِالْأَهْوَازِ لِيَسْتَخْرِجَ مَا كَانَ فِيهَا، وَرَجَعَ إِلَى نَهْرِ السِّدْرَةِ، وَسَيَّرَ طَائِفَةً إِلَى دَوْرَقَ، وَأَوْقَعُوا بِمَنْ كَانَ هُنَاكَ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ يَعْقُوبَ، وَأَنْفَذَ يَعْقُوبُ إِلَى الْخَضِرِ مَدَدًا، وَأَمَرَهُ بِالْكَفِّ عَنْ قِتَالِ الزَّنْجِ، وَالِاقْتِصَارِ عَلَى الْمُقَامِ بِالْأَهْوَازِ، فَلَمْ يُجِبْهُمْ عَلِيٌّ إِلَى ذَلِكَ دُونَ نَقْلِ طَعَامٍ كَانَ هُنَاكَ، فَأَجَابَهُ يَعْقُوبُ إِلَيْهِ، فَنَقَلَهُ، وَتَرَكَ الْعَلَفَ الَّذِي كَانَ بِالْأَهْوَازِ وَكَفَّ بَعْضُهُمْ عَنْ بَعْضٍ.

✧ Yaʿqūb's seizure of al-Ahwāz and other places In this year, Yaʿqūb b. al-Layth advanced from Fārs. When he reached al-Nūbīndijān, Aḥmad b. al-Layth withdrew from Tustar. When Yaʿqūb reached Jundaysābūr and encamped there, everyone in that region belonging to the caliph's army departed. He sent to al-Ahwāz a man from his companions called al-Khaḍir b. al-ʿAnbar. When he approached it, ʿAlī b. Abān and the Zanj who were with him left it and encamped at Nahr al-Sidra. Al-Khaḍir entered al-Ahwāz. His companions and the companions of ʿAlī b. Abān raided one another and inflicted losses on one another, until ʿAlī b. Abān made preparations and marched to al-Ahwāz. He inflicted a defeat on al-Khaḍir and those with him, in which a great number of al-Khaḍir's companions were killed, and he captured abundant spoils. Al-Khaḍir and those with him fled to ʿAskar Mukram. ʿAlī stayed at al-Ahwāz to collect what was there, then returned to Nahr al-Sidra. He sent a party to Dawraq, and they attacked those of Yaʿqūb's companions who were there. Yaʿqūb sent reinforcements to al-Khaḍir and ordered him to refrain from fighting the Zanj and to limit himself to staying at al-Ahwāz. ʿAlī did not agree to that unless food that was there was transported away, so Yaʿqūb consented to it, and he had it transported, and he left the fodder that was at al-Ahwāz. They then held back from one another.
