ذِكْرُ عِدَّةِ حَوَادِثَ وَحَجَّ بِالنَّاسِ فِي سنة إحدى وسبعين ومائتين هَارُونُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِسْحَاقَ الْعَبَّاسِيُّ. وَلِعَشْرٍ خَلَوْنَ مِنْ رَمَضَانَ فِي هَذِهِ السَّنَةِ عُقِدَ لِأَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ الطَّائِيِّ عَلَى الْمَدِينَةِ، وَطَرِيقِ مَكَّةَ ، فَوَثَبَ يُوسُفُ بْنُ أَبِي السَّاجِ - وَهُوَ وَالِي مَكَّةَ - عَلَى بَدْرٍ غُلَامِ الطَّائِيِّ، وَكَانَ أَمِيرًا عَلَى الْحَاجِّ، فَحَارَبَهُ، وَأَسَرَهُ، فَثَارَ الْجُنْدُ بِيُوسُفَ، فَقَاتَلُوهُ، وَاسْتَنْقَذُوا بَدْرًا، وَأَسَرُوا يُوسُفَ، وَحَمَلُوهُ إِلَى بَغْدَاذَ، وَكَانَتِ الْحَرْبُ بَيْنَهُمْ عَلَى أَبْوَابِ الْمَسْجِدِ الْحَرَامِ. وعن أَبُو بَكْرٍ الْآدَمِيُّ قَالَ: لَمَّا أَدْخَلَ مُؤْنِسٌ أَبَا الْقَاسِمِ بْنَ أَبِي السَّاجِ أَسِيرًا خَرَجْتُ إِلَى تَلْقِيَتِهِ عَلَى فَرَاسِخَ، وَدَخَلْتُ بَغْدَادَ مَعَهُ، فَقَالَ لِي لَمَّا قَرُبْنَا: إِذَا كَانَ غَدًا فَإِنِّي سَأُرِكْبُ ابْنَ أَبِي السَّاجِ وَأُشَهِّرُهُ فَارْكَبْ بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ، وَاقْرَأْ، فَقُلْتُ: السَّمْعُ وَالطَّاعَةُ. فَلَّمَا كَانَ مِنَ الْغَدِ شُهِّرَ ابْنُ أَبِي السَّاجِ بِبُرْنُسٍ، فَبَدَأْتُ فَقَرَأْتُ وَكَذَلِكَ أَخْذُ رَبِّكَ إِذَا أَخْذُ الْقُرَى وَهِيَ ظَالِمَةٌ [ إِنَّ أَخْذَهُ أَلِيمٌ شَدِيدٌ ] وَأَتْبَعْتُهَا بِكُلِّ مَا فِي الْقُرْآنِ مِنْ هَذَا الْجِنْسِ قَالَ: وَحَانَتْ مِنِّي الْتِفَاتَةٌ، فَرَأَيْتُ ابْنَ أَبِي السَّاجِ يَبْكِي. وَمَضَى ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمُ، فَلَمَّا كَانَ بَعْدَ أَيَّامٍ رَضِيَ عَنْهُ السُّلْطَانُ بِشَفَاعَةِ مُؤْنِسٍ، فَأَطْلَقَهُ إِلَى دَارِهِ، فَأَنَا [ كُنْتُ ] يَوْمًا بِحَضْرَةِ مُؤْنِسٍ أَقْرَأُ، إِذِ اسْتَدْعَانِي وَقَالَ لِي: قَدْ طَلَبَكَ الْيَوْمَ ابْنُ أَبِي السَّاجِ، فَامْضِ إِلَيْهِ. فَقُلْتُ لَهُ: أَيُّهَا الْأُسْتَاذُ اللَّهَ اللَّهَ فِيَّ لَعَلَّهُ وَجَدَ فِي نَفْسِهِ مِنْ قِرَاءَتِي ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمَ. فَضَحِكَ وَقَالَ: امْضِ إِلَيْهِ. فَمَضَيْتُ إِلَيْهِ، فَرَفَعَنِي وَأَجْلَسَنِي وَقَالَ: أُحِبُّ أَنْ تَقْرَأَ تِلْكَ الْآيَاتِ الَّتِي قَرَأَتْهَا بَيْنَ يَدَيْ يَوْمَ كَذَا. فَقُلْتُ: أَيُّهَا الْأَمِيرُ، تِلْكَ حَالَةٌ اقْتَضَتْ ذَلِكَ، وَلَيْسَ مِثْلُكَ يَأَخْذُ مِثْلِي عَلَيْهَا، وَقَدْ كَشَفَهَا اللَّهُ الْآنَ، وَلَكِنْ أقْرَأُ لَكَ غَيْرَهَا. قَالَ: لَا إِلَّا تِلْكَ، فَإِنَّهُ تَدَاخَلَنِي لَهَا خُشُوعٌ وَخَوْفٌ أُحِبُّ أَنْ أَكْسِرَ بِهَا نَفْسِي، فَرَدِّدْ سَمَاعَهَا عَلَيَّ قَالَ: فَاسْتَفْتَحْتُ فَقَرَأْتُهَا لَهُ، فَمَا زَالَ يَبْكِي وَيَنْتَحِبُ إِلَى أَنْ قَطَعْتُ الْقِرَاءَةَ، ثُمَّ قَالَ: تَقَدَّمْ إِلَيَّ قَالَ: فَخِفْتُهُ وَاللَّهِ أَنْ يَبْطِشَ بِي [ ثُمَّ ] قُلْتُ فِي نَفْسِي هَذَا مُحَالٌ: فَتَقَدَّمْتُ فَأَخْرَجَ مِنْ تَحْتِ مُصَلَّاهُ دَنَانِيرَ كَثِيرَةً وَقَالَ: افْتَحْ فَاكَ. فَفَتَحْتُهُ بِكُلِّ مَا اسْتَطَعْتُهُ، فَمَا زَالَ يَمْلَؤُهُ حَتَّى لَمَّ يَبْقَ فِي فَمِي مَوْضِعٌ، ثُمَّ قَالَ لِلْغُلَامِ: هَاتِ. فَجَاءَ بِكِيسٍ فِيهِ أَلْفَا دِرْهَمٍ فَجَعَلَهَا فِي كُمِّي، ثُمَّ خَرَجْتُ فَقُدِّمْتُ إِلَى بَغْلَةٍ فَارِهَةٍ مُسْرَجَةٍ، فَحُمِلْتُ عَلَيْهَا وَأَصْحَبَنِي ثِيَابًا وَقَالَ: إِذَا شِئْتَ فَعُدْ إِلَيْنَا وَلَا تَنْقَطِعْ عَنَّا مَا دُمْنَا مُقِيمِينَ، فَكُنْتُ أَجِيئُهُ فِي كُلِّ أُسْبُوعٍ أَقْرَأُ فِي دَارِهِ فَيُعْطِينِي فِي كُلِّ شَهْرٍ مِائَةَ دِينَارٍ، إِلَى أَنْ خَرَجَ مِنْ مَدِينَةِ السَّلَامِ. وَفِيهَا: وَثَبَ الْعَامَّةُ عَلَى النَّصَارَى، وَخَرَّبُوا الدَّيْرَ الْعَتِيقَ الَّذِي وَرَاءَ نَهْرِ عِيسَى، وَانْتَهَبُوا كُلَّ مَا كَانَ فِيهِ مِنْ مَتَاعٍ، وَقَلَعُوا الْأَبْوَابَ وَالْخَشَبَ، وَهَدَمُوا بَعْضَ حِيطَانِهِ وَسُقُوفِهِ، وَنَبَشُوا الْمَوْتَى، فَصَارَ إِلَيْهِمُ الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ صَاحِبُ شُرْطَةِ بَغْدَادَ مِنْ قِبَلِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ طَاهِرٍ، فَمَنَعَهُمْ مِنْ هَدْمِ مَا بَقِيَ مِنْهُ، وَكَانَ يَتَرَدَّدُ إِلَيْهِ أَيَّامًا وَالْعَامَّةُ تَجْتَمِعُ فِي تِلْكَ الْأَيَّامِ حَتَّى كَادَ يَكُونُ بَيْنَهُمْ قِتَالٌ، ثُمَّ بَنَى مَا كَانَتِ الْعَامَّةُ هَدَمَتْهُ، وَكَانَتْ إِعَادَةُ بِنَائِهِ فِيمَا ذُكِرَ بِقُوَّةِ عَبْدُونَ بْنِ مَخْلَدٍ النَّصْرَانِيِّ أَخِي صَاعِدِ بْنِ مَخْلَدٍ. وَفِي ذِي الْقِعْدَةِ: قَدِمَ الْمُعْتَمِدُ إِلَى بَغْدَادَ، فَصَلَّى بِالنَّاسِ فِي الْمُصَلَّى صَلَاةَ الْأَضْحَى، وَرَآهُ النَّاسُ، وَعَلَيْهِ الْبُرْدَةُ، وَذَلِكَ يَوْمَ السَّبْتِ. وَفِي سَنَةِ إِحْدَى وَسَبْعِينَ: قَالَ الصُّولِيُّ: (وَلِيَ هَارُونُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ الْهَاشِمِيُّ الْحِسْبَةَ ، فَأَمَرَ أَهْلَ بَغْدَادَ أَنْ يَتَعَامَلُوا بِالْفُلُوسِ، فَتَعَامَلُوا بِهَا عَلَى كُرْهٍ ثُمَّ تَرَكُوهَا ).
Translation
✧ Mention of several events, and the Pilgrimage with the people in the year two hundred and seventy-one was led by Hārūn b. Muḥammad b. Isḥāq al-ʿAbbāsī. On the tenth of Ramaḍān in this year, Aḥmad b. Muḥammad al-Ṭāʾī was invested with authority over al-Madīnah and the road to Makkah. Then Yūsuf b. Abī al-Sāj—who was governor of Makkah—fell upon Badr, the servant of al-Ṭāʾī, who was commander of the pilgrims, fought him, and captured him. The troops rose against Yūsuf, fought him, rescued Badr, took Yūsuf prisoner, and carried him to Baghdādh. The fighting between them took place at the gates of the Sacred Mosque. Abū Bakr al-Ādamī said: When Muʾnis brought Abū al-Qāsim b. Abī al-Sāj in as a prisoner, I went out to meet him at a distance of several parasangs and entered Baghdād with him. When we drew near, he said to me: “Tomorrow I shall mount Ibn Abī al-Sāj and parade him in disgrace, so ride before him and recite.” I said: “To hear is to obey.” The next day Ibn Abī al-Sāj was paraded wearing a burnoose. I began and recited: “And thus is the seizing of your Lord when He seizes the towns while they are wrongdoing; indeed His seizing is painful and severe,” and I followed it with everything in the Qurʾān of this kind. He said: I happened to glance around and saw Ibn Abī al-Sāj weeping. That day passed. Some days later, the ruler was pleased with him through the intercession of Muʾnis and released him to his house. One day I was in the presence of Muʾnis reciting when he summoned me and said: “Ibn Abī al-Sāj has asked for you today, so go to him.” I said to him: “My master, God, God, for my sake! Perhaps he felt resentment at my recitation that day.” He laughed and said: “Go to him.” So I went to him. He raised me up, seated me, and said: “I would like you to recite those verses you recited before me on such-and-such a day.” I said: “My lord, that was a situation that called for it, and one like you should not hold one like me to account for it. God has now removed it. But I shall recite something else for you.” He said: “No, only those. A humility and fear entered me because of them, and I would like to break my soul with them, so repeat their recitation to me.” He said: I began and recited them to him, and he kept weeping and sobbing until I finished the recitation. Then he said: “Come forward to me.” He said: By God, I feared that he would seize me. Then I said to myself: This is impossible. So I came forward. He brought out from beneath his prayer mat many dinars and said: “Open your mouth.” I opened it as wide as I could, and he kept filling it until no space remained in my mouth. Then he said to a servant: “Bring it.” The servant came with a purse containing two thousand dirhams and placed it in my sleeve. Then I went out and was brought a fine saddled mule, and I was mounted on it. He also gave me clothing as a gift and said: “Whenever you wish, return to us, and do not cut yourself off from us as long as we remain here.” I would come to him every week and recite in his house, and he would give me one hundred dinars every month, until he left the City of Peace. In this year: the common people rose against the Christians and destroyed the ancient monastery beyond Nahr ʿĪsā, plundered everything in it by way of goods, tore out the doors and wood, demolished some of its walls and roofs, and dug up the dead. Al-Ḥusayn b. Ismāʿīl, the chief of police of Baghdād on behalf of Muḥammad b. Ṭāhir, went out to them and prevented them from demolishing what remained of it. He kept going back there for days while the common people gathered in those days until fighting nearly broke out among them. Then he rebuilt what the common people had demolished, and its rebuilding, as it is said, was due to the influence of ʿAbdūn b. Makhlad the Christian, brother of Ṣāʿid b. Makhlad. In Dhū al-Qaʿdah: al-Muʿtamid came to Baghdād and led the people in the prayer of the Sacrifice at the place of prayer, and the people saw him wearing the burdah. That was on Saturday. In the year two hundred and seventy-one, al-Ṣūlī said: “Hārūn b. Ibrāhīm al-Hāshimī was placed in charge of the market inspection. He ordered the people of Baghdād to use copper fulūs for transactions, so they used them reluctantly, then abandoned them.”
