The dismissal of b. al-Furat and the vizierate of Hamid b. al-'Abbas
ذِكْرُ عِدَّةِ حَوَادِثَ فِي سَنَةُ سِتٍّ وَثَلَاثِمِائَةٍ غَزَا بِشْرٌ الْأَفْشِينِيُّ بِلَادَ الرُّومِ ، فَافْتَتَحَ عِدَّةَ حُصُونٍ، وَغَنَمَ، وَسَلِمَ. وَغَزَا ثَمِلٌ فِي بَحْرِ الرُّومِ، فَغَنِمَ، وَسَبَى، وَعَادَ، وَكَانَ عَلَى الْمَوْصِلِ أَبُو أَحْمَدَ بْنُ حَمَّادٍ الْمَوْصِلِيُّ. وَفِيهَا دَخَلَ جِنِّيٌّ الصَّفْوَانِيُّ بِلَادَ الرُّومِ، فَنَهَبَ، وَخَرَّبَ، وَأَحْرَقَ، وَفَتَحَ وَعَادَ، فَقُرِئَتِ الْكُتُبُ عَلَى الْمَنَابِرِ بِبَغْدَاذَ بِذَلِكَ. وَفِيهَا وَقَعَتْ فِتْنَةٌ بِبَغْدَاذَ بَيْنَ الْعَامَّةِ وَالْحَنَابِلَةِ ، فَأَخَذَ الْخَلِيفَةُ جَمَاعَةً مِنْهُمْ وَسَيَّرَهُمْ إِلَى الْبَصْرَةِ فَحُبِسُوا. وفِيهَا فِي أَوَّلِ يَوْمٍ مِنَ الْمُحَرَّمِ، وَهُوَ مُسْتَهَلُّ هَذِهِ السَّنَةِ - فُتِحَ الْمَارَسْتَانُ الَّذِي بَنَتْهُ السَّيِّدَةُ أُمُّ الْمُقْتَدِرِ، وَجَلَسَ فِيهِ سِنَانُ بْنُ ثَابِتٍ الطَّبِيبُ وَرُتِّبَتْ فِيهِ الْأَطِبَّاءُ وَالْخَدَمُ وَالْقَوْمَةُ وَكَانَتْ نَفَقَتُهُ فِي كُلِّ شَهْرٍ سِتَّمِائَةَ دِينَارٍ، وَأَشَارَ سِنَانُ بْنُ ثَابِتٍ عَلَى الْخَلِيفَةِ بِبِنَاءِ مَارَسْتَانَ فَقَبِلَ مِنْهُ وبُنِيَ وَسُمِّيَ الْمُقْتَدِرِيَّ. وَفِيهَا شَغَبَ الْعَامَّةُ وَأَرْجَفُوا بِمَوْتِ الْمُقْتَدِرِ، فَرَكِبَ فِي الْجَحَافِلِ حَتَّى بَلَغَ الثُّرَيَّا وَرَجَعَ مِنْ بَابِ الْعَامَّةِ وَوَقَفَ طَوِيلًا لِيَرَاهُ النَّاسُ ثُمَّ رَكِبَ إِلَى الشَّمَّاسِيَّةِ وَانْحَدَرَ إِلَى دَارِ الْخِلَافَةِ فِي دِجْلَةَ فَسَكَنَتِ الْفِتَنُ. وَفِيهَا أَمَرَتِ السَّيِّدَةُ أُمُّ الْمُقْتَدِرِ قَهْرَمَانَةً لَهَا تُعْرَفُ بِثَمِلَ أَنْ تَجْلِسَ فِي التُّرْبَةِ الَّتِي بَنَتْهَا بِالرُّصَافَةِ فِي كُلِّ يَوْمِ جُمْعَةٍ، وَأَنْ تَنْظُرَ فِي الْمَظَالِمِ الَّتِي تُرْفَعُ إِلَيْهَا فِي الْقِصَصِ، وَحَضَرَ فِي مَجْلِسِهَا الْقُضَاةُ وَالْفُقَهَاءُ. وَحَجَّ بِالنَّاسِ فِيهَا الْفَضْلُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْمَلِكِ الْهَاشِمِيُّ. وَفَى رَبِيعٍ الْآخِرِ: تُوُفِّيَ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ خَلَفٍ وَكِيعٌ، فَتَقَلَّدَ أَبُو جَعْفَرِ ابْنُ الْبُهْلُولِ مَا كَانَ يَتَوَلَّاهُ مِنَ الْقَضَاءِ بِمَدِينَةِ الْمَنْصُورِ وَقَضَاءِ الْأَهْوَازِ. وَفَى هَذَا الشَّهْرِ شَغَبَ أَهْلُ السِّجْنِ الْجَدِيدِ، وَصَعِدُوا السُّورَ، فَرَكِبَ نِزَارُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ صَاحِبُ الشُّرْطَةِ، وَحَارَبَهُمْ، وَقَتَلَ مِنْهُمْ وَاحِدًا، وَرَمَى بِرَأْسِهِ إِلَيْهِمْ فَسَكَنُوا. وَفِي هَذِهِ السَّنَةِ عُزِلَ نِزَارٌ عَنْ شُرْطَةِ بَغْدَاذَ، وَجُعِلَ فِيهَا نَجَحٌ الطُّولُونِيُّ، وَجُعِلَ فِي الْأَرْبَاعِ فُقَهَاءُ يَكُونُ عَمَلُ أَصْحَابِ الشُّرْطَةِ بِفَتْوَاهُمْ، فَضَعُفَتْ هَيْبَةُ السَّلْطَنَةِ بِذَلِكَ، وَطَمِعَ اللُّصُوصُ وَالْعَيَّارُونَ، وَكَثُرَتِ الْفِتَنُ، وَكُبِسَتْ دُورُ التُّجَّارِ، وَأُخِذَتْ بَنَاتُ النَّاسِ فِي الطَّرِيقِ الْمُنْقَطِعَةِ، ( وَكَثُرَ الْمُفْسِدُونَ ). وَفِي هَذِهِ السَّنَةِ: وَثَبَ بَنُو هَاشِمٍ عَلَى عَلِيِّ بْنِ عِيسَى لِتَأَخُّرِ أَرْزَاقِهِمْ، فَمَدُّوا أَيْدِيَهُمْ إِلَيْهِ، فَأَمَرَ الْمُقْتَدِرُ بِالْقَبْضِ عَلَيْهِمْ وَتَأْدِيبِهِمْ وَنَفَاهُمْ إِلَى الْبَصْرَةِ، وَأَسْقَطَ أَرْزَاقَهُمْ، فَسَأَلَ فِيهِمْ عَلِيَّ بْنَ عِيسَى [فَرُدُّوا] فَتَوَارَوْا وَقُبِضَ عَلَى ابْنِهِ وَبِيعَتْ أَمْوَالُهُ وَأَمْلَاكُهُ، وَحُوسِبَ، وَكَانَ [مِمَّا أَعْطَى] سَبْعَمِائَةِ أَلْفِ [دِينَارٍ]، وَكَانَ السَّبَبُ أَنَّهُ أَخَّرَ إِطْلَاقَ [أَرْزَاقِهِمْ]، وَأَرْزَاقَ الْجُنْدِ، وَاحْتَجَّ بِضِيقِ الْمَالِ، [وَكَانَ قَدْ] صَرَفَهُ إِلَى مُحَارَبَةِ ابْنِ أَبِي السَّاجِ، فَطَلَبَ مِنَ الْمُقْتَدِرِ إِطْلَاقَ مِائَتَيْ أَلْفِ دِينَارٍ مِنْ بَيْتِ الْمَالِ [لِإِعْطَاءِ الْجُنْدِ]، فَثَقُلَ ذَلِكَ عَلَى الْمُقْتَدِرِ، وَرَاسَلَ ابْنَ الْفُرَاتِ فَإِنَّهُ كَانَ قَدْ ضَمِنَ لَهُ أَنْ يَقُومَ بِسَائِرِ النَّفَقَاتِ، فَاحْتَجَّ بِمَا أَنْفَقَ عَلَى مُحَارَبَةِ ابْنِ أَبِي السَّاجِ، فَلَمْ يَسْمَعِ اعْتِذَارَهُ. وَكُوتِبَ فِي الْوَقْتِ أَبُو مُحَمَّدٍ حَامِدُ بْنُ الْعَبَّاسِ بِالْإِصْعَادِ إِلَى الْحَضْرَةِ، فَلَمَّا قَدِمَ خُلِعَ عَلَيْهِ وَبَانَ عَجْزُهُ فِي التَّدْبِيرِ، فَأُشِيرَ عَلَيْهِ أَنْ يُطْلَبَ عَلِيُّ بْنُ عِيسَى [يَكُونُ بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ فَفَعَلَ، فَأُخْرِجَ عَلِيُّ بْنُ عِيسَى فَحُمِلَ] إِلَى حَامِدٍ، فَكَانَ يَحْضُرُ وَمَعَهُ دَوَاةٌ وَيَنْظُرُ فِي الْأَعْمَالِ وَيُوَقِّعُ، فَتَفَرَّدَ حِينَئِذٍ أَبُو الْحَسَنِ عَلِيُّ بْنُ عِيسَى بِتَدْبِيرِ جَمِيعِ أُمُورِ الْمَمْلَكَةِ، وَصَارَ حَامِدٌ لَا يَأْمُرُ فِي شَيْءٍ [بَتَّةً]. كما تقدم وَقُلِّدَ أَبُو عُمَرَ الْقَاضِي الْمَظَالِمَ فِي جُمَادَى الْآخِرَةِ مِنْ هَذِهِ السَّنَةِ

✧ Mention of several events In the year three hundred and six, Bishr al-Afshīnī raided the land of the Byzantines, and conquered several fortresses, took booty, and returned safely. Thamil raided in the Byzantine Sea, took booty, captured prisoners, and returned. Abū Aḥmad b. Ḥammād al-Mawṣilī was governor of Mosul. In this year, Jinnī al-Ṣafwānī entered the land of the Byzantines, plundered, destroyed, and burned, conquered, and returned. Letters about that were read from the pulpits in Baghdādh. In this year, a disturbance occurred in Baghdādh between the common people and the Ḥanbalīs. The caliph seized a group of them and sent them to al-Baṣrah, where they were imprisoned. In this year, on the first day of al-Muḥarram, which is the beginning of this year, the hospital built by al-Sayyidah, the mother of al-Muqtadir, was opened. Sinān b. Thābit, the physician, took up his seat in it, and physicians, servants, and stewards were appointed there. Its monthly expenditure was six hundred dinars. Sinān b. Thābit suggested to the caliph the building of a hospital, and he accepted it from him, and it was built and named al-Muqtadirī. In this year, the common people rioted and spread false rumors of al-Muqtadir's death. He rode out with the troops until he reached al-Thurayyā, and returned by Bāb al-ʿĀmmah, and stood for a long time so that the people might see him. Then he rode to al-Shammāsiyyah and went down to the caliphal palace on the Tigris, and the disturbances subsided. In this year, al-Sayyidah, the mother of al-Muqtadir, ordered a stewardess of hers known as Thamil to sit in the tomb she had built in al-Ruṣāfah every Friday, and to look into the grievances that were brought to her in petitions. The judges and jurists attended her sessions. In this year, al-Faḍl b. ʿAbd al-Malik al-Hāshimī led the people in the pilgrimage. In Rabīʿ al-Ākhir, Muḥammad b. Khalaf Wakīʿ died, and Abū Jaʿfar Ibn al-Buhlūl took over the judicial office in the city of al-Manṣūr and the judgeship of al-Ahwāz that he had held. In this month, the inmates of the new prison rioted and climbed the wall. Nizār b. Muḥammad, the chief of police, rode out, fought them, killed one of them, and threw his head to them, and they quieted down. In this year, Nizār was dismissed from the police of Baghdādh, and Najaḥ al-Ṭūlūnī was appointed in his place. Jurists were appointed in the quarters whose rulings the police were to follow. As a result, the prestige of the government weakened, thieves and vagabonds became emboldened, disturbances increased, the houses of merchants were robbed, and people's daughters were seized in deserted streets, and corruption spread. In this year, the Banū Hāshim rose against ʿAlī b. ʿĪsā because of the delay in their stipends, and they stretched out their hands toward him. Al-Muqtadir ordered them to be arrested, disciplined, and exiled to al-Baṣrah, and their stipends were cancelled. ʿAlī b. ʿĪsā interceded for them, so they were brought back; they went into hiding, but his son was arrested and his wealth and properties were sold, and he was called to account. He had given seven hundred thousand dinars. The reason was that he had delayed the release of their stipends and those of the soldiers, pleading the shortage of funds; he had spent them on the war against Ibn Abī al-Sāj. He asked al-Muqtadir to release two hundred thousand dinars from the treasury to pay the soldiers, but that weighed heavily on al-Muqtadir. He corresponded with Ibn al-Furāt, who had guaranteed to meet all expenses, but Ibn al-Furāt pleaded what he had spent on the war against Ibn Abī al-Sāj, and his excuse was not accepted. At that time, Abū Muḥammad Ḥāmid b. al-ʿAbbās was written to, summoning him to the capital. When he arrived, he was invested with the vizierate, but his incapacity in administration became apparent. He was advised to summon ʿAlī b. ʿĪsā to work under him, and he did so. ʿAlī b. ʿĪsā was brought out and carried to Ḥāmid. He used to attend with an inkwell, examine the affairs, and sign. At that time, Abū al-Ḥasan ʿAlī b. ʿĪsā alone took charge of administering all the affairs of the kingdom, and Ḥāmid gave no orders in anything at all, as previously mentioned. Abū ʿUmar al-Qāḍī was appointed to the maẓālim court in Jumādā al-Ākhirah of this year.
