ذِكْرُ عِدَّةِ حَوَادِثَ فِي سَنَةُ خَمْسٍ وَتِسْعِينَ وَمِائَتَيْنِ كَانَتْ وَقْعَةٌ بَيْنَ نُجْحِ بْنِ جَاخَ وَبَيْنَ الْأَجْنَادِ بِمِنَىً، ثَانِيَ عَشَرَ ذِي الْحِجَّةِ، فَقُتِلَ مِنْهُمْ جَمَاعَةٌ، لِأَنَّهُمْ طَلَبُوا جَائِزَةَ بَيْعَةِ الْمُقْتَدِرِ بِاللَّهِ ، وَهَرَبَ النَّاسُ إِلَى بُسْتَانِ ابْنِ عَامِرٍ، وَأَصَابَ الْحُجَّاجَ فِي عَوْدِهِمْ عَطَشٌ عَظِيمٌ ( فَمَاتَ ) مِنْهُمْ جَمَاعَةٌ. ( وَحُكِيَ أَنَّ أَحَدَهُمْ كَانَ يَبُولُ فِي كَفِّهِ ثُمَّ يَشْرَبُهُ ). وَفِيهَا خَرَجَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ الْمِسْمَعِيُّ عَنْ أَصْبَهَانَ إِلَى قَرْيَةٍ مِنْ قُرَاهَا مُخَالِفًا لِلْخَلِيفَةِ، وَاجْتَمَعَ إِلَيْهِ نَحْوٌ ( مِنْ ) عَشَرَةِ آلَافٍ مِنَ الْأَكْرَادِ وَغَيْرِهِمْ، فَأُمِرَ بَدْرٌ الْحَمَّامِيُّ بِالْمَسِيرِ إِلَيْهِ، فَسَارَ فِي خَمْسَةِ آلَافٍ مِنَ الْجُنْدِ، وَأَرْسَلَ إِلَيْهِ مَنْصُورُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مَنْصُورٍ الْكَاتِبُ يُخَوِّفُهُ عَاقِبَةَ الْخِلَافِ، فَسَارَ إِلَيْهِ وَأَدَّى ( إِلَيْهِ ) الرِّسَالَةَ، فَرَجَعَ إِلَى الطَّاعَةِ، وَسَارَ إِلَى بَغْدَاذَ، وَاسْتُخْلِفَ عَلَى عَمَلِهِ بِأَصْبَهَانَ، فَرَضِيَ عَنْهُ الْمُكْتَفِي بِاللَّهِ. وَفِيهَا كَانَتْ وَقْعَةٌ لِلْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ مُوسَى عَلَى أَعْرَابِ طَيٍّ، الَّذِينَ كَانُوا حَصَرُوا وَصِيفًا، عَلَى غِرَّةٍ مِنْهُمْ، فَقَتَلَ فِيهِمْ كَثِيرًا، وَأَسَرَ. وَفِيهَا أَوْقَعَ الْحَسَنُ بْنُ أَحْمَدَ بِالْأَكْرَادِ الَّذِينَ تَغَلَّبُوا عَلَى نَوَاحِي الْمَوْصِلِ، فَظَفِرَ بِهِمْ، وَاسْتَبَاحَهُمْ، وَنَهَبَ أَمْوَالَهُمْ، وَهَرَبَ رَئِيسُهُمْ إِلَى رُءُوسِ الْجِبَالِ، فَلَمْ يُدْرَكْ. وَفِيهَا فَتَحَ الْمُظَفَّرُ بْنُ جَاخَ بَعْضَ مَا كَانَ غَلَبَ عَلَيْهِ الْخَارِجِيُّ بِالْيَمَنِ، وَأَخَذَ رَئِيسًا مِنْ ( رُؤَسَاءِ أَصْحَابِهِ )، يُعْرَفُ بِالْحَكِيمِيِّ. وَفِيهَا تَمَّ الْفِدَاءُ بَيْنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ وَالرُّومِ فِي ذِي الْقِعْدَةِ، وَكَانَ عِدَّةُ مَنْ فُودِيَ بِهِ مِنَ الرِّجَالِ وَالنِّسَاءِ ثَلَاثَةَ آلَافِ نَفْسٍ. وَحَجَّ بِالنَّاسِ الْفَضْلُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْمَلِكِ الْهَاشِمِيُّ.
Translation
✧ Mention of several events In the year 295 [AH], there was a clash between Nujḥ b. Jākh and the troops at Minā on the twelfth of Dhū al-Ḥijjah. A group of them was killed because they demanded the accession gratuity of al-Muqtadir billāh, and the people fled to the garden of Ibn ʿĀmir. On their return, the pilgrims suffered great thirst, and a group of them died. (And it was related that one of them would urinate into his palm and then drink it.) In this year, ʿAbd Allāh b. Ibrāhīm al-Mismaʿī went out from Iṣbahān to one of its villages in opposition to the caliph. About ten thousand Kurds and others gathered to him. Badr al-Ḥammāmī was ordered to march against him, and he set out with five thousand troops. Manṣūr b. ʿAbd Allāh b. Manṣūr the secretary sent to him, warning him of the consequences of opposition, and he went to him and delivered the message. So he returned to obedience and went to Baghdādh, and was appointed as deputy over his post in Iṣbahān. Al-Muktafī billāh was pleased with him. In this year, al-Ḥusayn b. Mūsā made a raid on the Bedouin of Ṭayy, who had besieged Waṣīf, taking them by surprise. He killed many of them and took captives. In this year, al-Ḥasan b. Aḥmad fell upon the Kurds who had taken control of the districts of al-Mawṣil. He defeated them, plundered them, and seized their wealth. Their leader fled to the mountain tops and was not caught. In this year, al-Muẓaffar b. Jākh conquered some of what the Khārijite had seized in Yemen, and he captured a leader of his followers known as al-Ḥakīmī. In this year, the ransom between the Muslims and the Byzantines was completed in Dhū al-Qaʿdah. The number of men and women ransomed was three thousand souls. The people performed the pilgrimage under al-Faḍl b. ʿAbd al-Malik al-Hāshimī.
