حَرْبِ سِيمَجُورَ مَعَ أَبِي الْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ الْعَلَوِيِّ قَدْ ذَكَرْنَا قَتْلَ لَيْلَى بْنِ النُّعْمَانِ، وَأَنَّ جُرْجَانَ تَخَلَّفَ بِهَا بَارِسُ غُلَامُ قُرَاتِكِينَ، فَلَمَّا قُتِلَ لَيْلَى بْنُ النُّعْمَانِ عَادَ قُرَاتِكِينُ إِلَى جُرْجَانَ، فَاسْتَأْمَنَ إِلَيْهِ غُلَامُهُ بَارِسُ، فَقَتَلَهُ قُرَاتِكِينُ، وَانْصَرَفَ عَنْ جُرْجَانَ، وَقَدِمَهَا أَبُو الْحُسَيْنِ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ الْأُطْرُوشُ الْعَلَوِيُّ، الْمُلَقَّبُ وَالِدُهُ بِالنَّاصِرِ، وَأَقَامَ بِهَا فَأَنْفَذَ إِلَيْهِ السَّعِيدُ نَصْرُ بْنُ أَحْمَدَ سِيمَجُورَ الدَّوَاتِيَّ فِي أَرْبَعَةِ آلَافِ فَارِسٍ، فَنَزَلَ عَلَى فَرْسَخَيْنِ مِنْ جُرْجَانَ، وَحَاصَرَ أَبَا الْحُسَيْنِ نَحْوَ شَهْرٍ مِنْ هَذِهِ السَّنَةِ. وَخَرَجَ إِلَيْهِ أَبُو الْحُسَيْنِ فِي ثَمَانِيَةِ آلَافِ رَجُلٍ مِنَ الدَّيْلَمِ، وَالْجُرْجَانِيَّةِ، وَصَاحِبُ جَيْشِهِ سُرْخَابُ بْنُ وَهْسُوذَانَ ابْنِ عَمِّ مَاكَانَ بْنِ كَالِي الدَّيْلَمِيِّ، فَتَحَارَبَا حَرْبًا عَظِيمَةً، وَكَانَ سِيمَجُورُ قَدْ جَعَلَ كَمِينًا مِنْ أَصْحَابِهِ، فَأَبُطَؤُوا عَنْهُ فَانْهَزَمَ سِيمَجُورُ، وَوَقَعَ أَصْحَابُ أَبِي الْحُسَيْنِ فِي عَسْكَرِ سِيمَجُورَ، وَاشْتَغَلُوا بِالنَّهْبِ وَالْغَارَةِ، فَخَرَجَ عَلَيْهِمُ الْكَمِينُ بَعْدَ الظَّفَرِ، فَقَتَلُوا مِنَ الدَّيْلَمِ وَالْجُرْجَانِيَّةِ نَحْوَ أَرْبَعَةِ آلَافِ رَجُلٍ، وَانْهَزَمَ أَبُو الْحُسَيْنِ، وَرَكِبَ فِي الْبَحْرِ، ثُمَّ عَادَ إِلَى أَسْتِرَابَاذَ، وَاجْتَمَعَ إِلَيْهِ فَلُّ أَصْحَابِهِ. وَكَانَ سُرْخَابُ قَدْ تَبِعَ سِيمَجُورَ فِي هَزِيمَتِهِ، فَلَمَّا عَادَ رَأَى أَصْحَابَهُ مُقَتَّلِينَ مُشَرَّدِينَ فَسَارَ إِلَى أَسْتِرَابَاذَ، وَاسْتَصْحَبَ مَعَهُ عِيَالَ أَصْحَابِهِ وَمُخَلَّفِيهِمْ، وَأَقَامَ بِهَا مَعَ أَبِي الْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ النَّاصِرِ، ثُمَّ سَمِعَ سِيمَجُورُ بِظَفَرِ أَصْحَابِهِ، فَعَادَ إِلَيْهِمْ، وَأَقَامَ بِجُرْجَانَ، ثُمَّ اعْتَلَّ سُرْخَابُ وَمَاتَ، وَرَجَعَ ابْنُ النَّاصِرِ إِلَى سَارِيَةَ وَاسْتَخْلَفَ مَاكَانَ بْنَ كَالِي عَلَى أَسْتِرَابَاذَ، فَاجْتَمَعَ إِلَيْهِ الدَّيْلَمُ، وَقَدَّمُوهُ وَأَمَّرُوهُ عَلَى أَنْفُسِهِمْ. ثُمَّ سَارَ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ الْبَلْغَمِيُّ وَسِيمَجُورُ إِلَى بَابِ أَسْتِرَابَاذَ، وَحَارَبُوا مَاكَانَ بْنَ كَالِي، فَلَمَّا طَالَ مُقَامُهُمُ اتَّفَقُوا مَعَهُ عَلَى أَنْ يَخْرُجَ عَنِ أَسْتِرَابَاذَ إِلَى سَارِيَةَ، وَبَذَلُوا لَهُ عَلَى هَذَا مَالًا لِيَظْهَرَ لِلنَّاسِ أَنَّهُمْ قَدِ افْتَتَحُوهَا، ثُمَّ يَنْصَرِفُونَ عَنْهَا وَيَعُودُ إِلَيْهَا، فَفَعَلَ وَسَارَ إِلَى سَارِيَةَ، ثُمَّ رَحَلُوا عَنْ أَسْتِرَابَاذَ، فَلَمَّا سَارُوا عَنْهَا عَادَ إِلَيْهَا مَاكَانُ بْنُ كَالِي، فَفَارَقَهَا بُغْرَا، ( إِلَى جُرْجَانَ، وَأَسَاءَ السِّيرَةَ فِي أَهْلِهَا، وَخَرَجَ إِلَيْهِ مَاكَانُ، فَرَجَعَ بُغْرَا ) إِلَى نَيْسَابُورَ، وَأَقَامَ مَاكَانُ بِجُرْجَانَ، وَنَحْنُ نَذْكُرُ ابْتِدَاءً حَالَ مَاكَانَ، وَنَنْقُلُهَا عِنْدَ قَتْلِهِ سَنَةَ تِسْعٍ وَعِشْرِينَ وَثَلَاثِمِائَةٍ.
Translation
✧ The War of Sīmjūr with Abū al-Ḥusayn b. al-ʿAlawī We have already mentioned the killing of Laylā b. al-Nuʿmān, and that Jurjān was left behind in it by Bāris, the ghulām of Qurātikīn. When Laylā b. al-Nuʿmān was killed, Qurātikīn returned to Jurjān, and his ghulām Bāris sought a pledge of security from him, but Qurātikīn killed him and departed from Jurjān. Then Abū al-Ḥusayn b. al-Ḥasan b. ʿAlī al-Uṭrūsh al-ʿAlawī, whose father was titled al-Nāṣir, arrived there and remained. Al-Saʿīd Naṣr b. Aḥmad sent Sīmjūr al-Dawātī against him with four thousand horsemen. He encamped two farsakhs from Jurjān and besieged Abū al-Ḥusayn for about a month in this year. Abū al-Ḥusayn marched out against him with eight thousand men from the Daylamites and the Jurjānīs, with Surkhāb b. Wahsūdhān, the cousin of Mākān b. Kālī al-Daylamī, as commander of his army. They fought a great battle. Sīmjūr had placed an ambush from among his companions, but they were slow in coming to him, so Sīmjūr was routed. Abū al-Ḥusayn's men fell upon Sīmjūr's camp and busied themselves with plunder and raiding. Then the ambush came out upon them after the victory and killed about four thousand men from the Daylamites and the Jurjānīs. Abū al-Ḥusayn was routed, rode into the sea, then returned to Astarābādh, and the remnants of his companions gathered to him. Surkhāb had pursued Sīmjūr in his defeat. When he returned, he saw his companions slain and scattered, so he went to Astarābādh, taking with him the families and baggage of his companions, and remained there with Abū al-Ḥusayn b. al-Nāṣir. Then Sīmjūr heard of the victory of his companions, so he returned to them and remained in Jurjān. Then Surkhāb fell ill and died. Ibn al-Nāṣir returned to Sāriyah and appointed Mākān b. Kālī as his deputy over Astarābādh. The Daylamites gathered to him, put him forward, and made him commander over themselves. Then Muḥammad b. ʿUbayd Allāh al-Balghamī and Sīmjūr marched to the gate of Astarābādh and fought Mākān b. Kālī. When their stay grew long, they agreed with him that he should leave Astarābādh for Sāriyah, and they offered him money for this so that it would appear to the people that they had conquered it; then they would depart from it and he would return to it. He did so and went to Sāriyah. Then they departed from Astarābādh, and when they had left, Mākān b. Kālī returned to it. Then Bughrā left it, (going to Jurjān, and he behaved badly toward its people. Mākān marched out against him, so Bughrā returned) to Naysābūr. Mākān remained in Jurjān. We shall mention the beginning of Mākān's affairs and relate them at the time of his killing in the year 329 AH.
