Then the Year 315 AH Began
ذِكْرُ عِدَّةِ حَوَادِثَ فِي سَنَةُ خَمْسَ عَشْرَةَ وَثَلَاثِمِائَةٍ مَاتَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ الْمِسْمَعِيِّ مِنْ حُمَّى حَادَّةٍ، وَكَانَ مَوْتُهُ بِالنُّوبَنْدَجَانِ، فَاسْتَعْمَلَ الْمُقْتَدِرُ مَكَانَهُ عَلَى فَارِسَ يَاقُوتًا، وَاسْتَعْمَلَ عِوَضَهُ عَلَى كَرْمَانَ أَبَا طَاهِرٍ مُحَمَّدَ بْنَ عَبْدِ الصَّمَدِ، وَخَلَعَ عَلَيْهِمَا. وَفِيهَا شَغَبَ الْفُرْسَانُ بِبَغْدَاذَ، وَخَرَجُوا إِلَى الْمُصَلَّى، وَنَهَبُوا الْقَصْرَ الْمَعْرُوفَ بِالثُّرَيَّا ، وَذَبَحُوا مَا كَانَ فِيهِ مِنَ الْوَحْشِ، فَخَرَجَ إِلَيْهِمْ مُؤْنِسٌ، وَضَمِنَ لَهُمْ أَرْزَاقَهُمْ، فَرَجَعُوا إِلَى مَنَازِلِهِمْ. وَفِيهَا ظَفِرَ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ النَّاصِرُ لِدِينِ اللَّهِ الْأُمَوِيُّ، صَاحِبُ الْأَنْدَلُسِ، بِأَهْلِ طُلَيْطِلَةَ وَكَانَ قَدْ حَصَرَهَا مُدَّةً لِخِلَافٍ كَانَ عَلَيْهِ فِيهَا، فَلَمَّا ظَفِرَ بِهِمْ أَخَرَبَ كَثِيرًا مِنْ عِمَارَاتِهَا وَشَعَثِهَا، وَكَانَتْ حِينَئِذٍ دَارَ إِسْلَامٍ. وَفِيهَا قَصَدَ الْأَعْرَابُ سَوَادَ الْكُوفَةِ فَنَهَبُوهُ وَخَرَّبُوهُ، وَدَخَلُوا الْحِيرَةَ فَنَهَبُوهَا، فَسَيَّرَ إِلَيْهِمُ الْخَلِيفَةُ جَيْشًا فَدَفَعُوهُمْ عَنِ الْبِلَادِ. وَفِيهَا، فِي رَبِيعٍ الْأَوَّلِ، انْقَضَّ كَوْكَبٌ عَظِيمٌ، وَصَارَ لَهُ صَوْتٌ شَدِيدٌ عَلَى سَاعَتَيْنِ بَقِيَتَا مِنَ النَّهَارِ. وَفِيهَا، فِي جُمَادَى الْآخِرَةِ، احْتَرَقَ كَثِيرٌ مِنَ الرُّصَافَةِ وَوَصِيفٌ الْجَوْهَرِيُّ وَمُرَبَّعَةُ الْخُرْسِيِّ بِبَغْدَاذَ. وَفِي شَعْبَانَ دَخَلَ إِلَى بَغْدَادَ ثَلَاثَةَ عَشَرَ أَسِيرًا مِنَ الرُّومِ أُخِذُوا مِنْ بَيْتِ الْمَقْدِسِ فِيهِمْ قَرَابَةُ الْمَلِكِ. وَفِي جُمَادَى الْأُولَى قُبِضَ عَلَى رَجُلٍ خَنَّاقٍ، قَدْ قَتَلَ خَلْقًا مِنَ النِّسَاءِ ; لِأَنَّهُ ادَّعَى أَنَّهُ يَعْرِفُ الْعَطْفَ وَالتَّنْجِيمَ، فَقَصَدَهُ النِّسَاءُ لِذَلِكَ، فَإِذَا انْفَرَدَ بِالْمَرْأَةِ قَامَ إِلَيْهَا، فَخَنَقَهَا بِوَتَرٍ، وَأَعَانَتْهُ امْرَأَتُهُ عَلَى ذَلِكَ، ثُمَّ حَفَرَ لَهَا فِي دَارِهِ فَدَفَنَهَا، فَإِذَا امْتَلَأَتْ تِلْكَ الدَّارُ انْتَقَلَ عَنْهَا إِلَى غَيْرِهَا. وَلَمَّا ظُهِرَ عَلَيْهِ وُجِدَ فِي دَارِهِ سَبْعَ عَشْرَةَ امْرَأَةً قَدْ خَنَقَهُنَّ، ثُمَّ تُتُبِّعَتِ الدُّورُ الَّتِي سَكَنَهَا، فَوَجَدُوا شَيْئًا كَثِيرًا قَدْ قُتِلَ مِنَ النِّسَاءِ، فَضُرِبَ أَلْفَ سَوْطٍ، ثُمَّ صُلِبَ حَيًّا حَتَّى مَاتَ، قَبَّحَهُ اللَّهُ.

✧ Mention of Several Events In the year three hundred and fifteen, Ibrāhīm b. al-Mismaʿī died of an acute fever, and his death was at al-Nūbandajān, so al-Muqtadir appointed Yāqūt in his place over Fārs, and appointed Abū Ṭāhir Muḥammad b. ʿAbd al-Ṣamad in his place over Kirmān, and bestowed robes of honor upon them both. In this year, the cavalry rioted in Baghdādh, went out to the musallā, plundered the palace known as al-Thurayyā, and slaughtered the wild animals that were in it. Muʾnis went out to them and guaranteed their stipends, so they returned to their dwellings. In this year, ʿAbd al-Raḥmān b. Muḥammad b. ʿAbd Allāh al-Nāṣir li-Dīn Allāh the Umayyad, ruler of al-Andalus, gained victory over the people of Ṭulayṭila. He had besieged it for a period because of a rebellion against him within it. When he gained victory over them, he destroyed much of its buildings and ruined it, and it was at that time an abode of Islam. In this year, the Bedouins headed for the cultivated land of al-Kūfa, plundered it, laid it waste, and entered al-Ḥīra and plundered it. The caliph dispatched an army against them, and they drove them away from the lands. In this year, in Rabīʿ al-Awwal, a great star fell, and it produced a loud sound at two hours remaining of the day. In this year, in Jumādā al-Ākhira, much of al-Ruṣāfa, Waṣīf al-Jawharī, and Murabbaʿat al-Khursī in Baghdādh burned. And in Shaʿbān, thirteen captives from the Byzantines entered Baghdādh, taken from Jerusalem, among them relatives of the king. And in Jumādā al-Ūlā, a strangler was arrested who had killed a number of women; because he claimed that he knew love magic and astrology, women sought him out for that. When he was alone with a woman, he would go to her and strangle her with a bowstring, and his wife assisted him in that. Then he would dig a grave for her in his house and bury her. When that house was full, he would move from it to another. When he was exposed, seventeen women were found in his house whom he had strangled. Then the houses he had lived in were searched, and they found many women who had been killed. He was lashed a thousand times, then crucified alive until he died, may God disfigure him.
