الْحَرْبِ بَيْنَ عَسْكَرِ عَمْرِو بْنِ اللَّيْثِ وَبَيْنَ عَسْكَرِ الْمُوَفَّقِ فِي سَنَةُ أَرْبَعٍ وَسَبْعِينَ وَمِائَتَيْنِ سَارَ الْمُوَفَّقُ إِلَى فَارِسَ لِحَرْبِ عَمْرِو بْنِ اللَّيْثِ الصَّفَّارِ، فَبَلَغَ الْخَبَرُ إِلَى عَمْرٍو، فَسَيَّرَ الْعَبَّاسَ بْنَ إِسْحَاقٍ فِي جَمْعٍ كَبِيرٍ مِنَ الْعَسْكَرِ إِلَى سِيرَافَ، وَأَنْفَذَ ابْنَهُ مُحَمَّدَ بْنَ عَمْرٍو إِلَى أَرْجَانَ، وَسِيَّرَ أَبَا طَلْحَةَ شَرْكُبَ صَاحِبَ جَيْشِهِ، عَلَى مُقَدِّمَتِهِ، فَاسْتَأْمَنَ أَبُو طَلْحَةَ إِلَى الْمُوَفَّقِ، وَسَمِعَ عَمْرٌو ذَلِكَ، فَتَوَقَّفَ عَنْ قَصْدِ الْمُوَفَّقِ. ثُمَّ إِنَّ أَبَا طَلْحَةَ عَزَمَ عَلَى الْعَوْدِ إِلَى عَمْرٍو، فَبَلَغَ الْمُوَفَّقَ خَبَرُهُ فَقَبَضَ عَلَيْهِ بِقُرْبِ شِيزَارَ، وَجَعَلَ مَالَهُ لِابْنِهِ الْمُعْتَضِدِ أَبِي الْعَبَّاسِ، وَسَارَ يَطْلُبُ عَمْرًا، فَعَادَ عَمْرٌو إِلَى كَرْمَانَ، وَمِنْهَا إِلَى سِجِسْتَانَ عَلَى الْمَفَازَةِ، فَتُوُفِّيَ ابْنُهُ مُحَمَّدٌ بِالْمَفَازَةِ، وَلَمْ يَقْدِرِ الْمُوَفَّقُ عَلَى أَخْذِ كَرْمَانَ ( وَسِجِسْتَانَ مِنْ عَمْرٍو فَعَادَ عَنْهُ ).
Translation
✧ The war between the army of ʿAmr b. al-Layth and the army of al-Muwaffaq In the year two hundred and seventy-four, al-Muwaffaq marched to Fārs to fight ʿAmr b. al-Layth al-Ṣaffār. News of this reached ʿAmr, so he dispatched al-ʿAbbās b. Isḥāq with a large body of troops to Sīrāf, sent his son Muḥammad b. ʿAmr to Arrajān, and dispatched Abū Ṭalḥah Sharkūb, the commander of his army, at the head of his vanguard. Abū Ṭalḥah sought protection from al-Muwaffaq. ʿAmr heard of that and refrained from confronting al-Muwaffaq. Then Abū Ṭalḥah resolved to return to ʿAmr, but news of him reached al-Muwaffaq, who seized him near Shīzar and gave his wealth to his son al-Muʿtaḍid Abū al-ʿAbbās. He marched seeking ʿAmr, but ʿAmr returned to Kirmān and from there to Sijistān across the desert. His son Muḥammad died in the desert, and al-Muwaffaq was unable to take Kirmān (and Sijistān from ʿAmr, so he turned back from him).
