ثُمَّ دَخَلَتْ سَنَةُ عِشْرِينَ وَثَلَاثِمِائَةٍ ذِكْرُ مَسِيرِ مُؤْنِسٍ إِلَى الْمَوْصِلِ فِي هَذِهِ السَّنَةِ، فِي الْمُحَرَّمِ، سَارَ مُؤْنِسٌ الْمُظَفَّرُ إِلَى الْمَوْصِلِ مُغَاضِبًا لِلْمُقْتَدِرِ. وَسَبَبُ مَسِيرِهِ أَنَّهُ لَمَّا صَحَّ عِنْدَهُ إِرْسَالُ الْوَزِيرِ الْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ الْقَاسِمِ إِلَى هَارُونَ بْنِ غَرِيبٍ وَمُحَمَّدِ بْنِ يَاقُوتٍ يَسْتَحْضِرُهُمَا، زَادَ اسْتِيحَاشُهُ، ثُمَّ سَمِعَ بِأَنَّ الْحُسَيْنَ قَدْ جَمَعَ الرِّجَالَ وَالْغِلْمَانَ الْحُجَرِيَّةَ فِي دَارِ الْخَلِيفَةِ، وَقَدِ اتَّفَقَ فِيهِمْ وَإِنَّ هَارُونَ بْنَ غَرِيبٍ قَدْ قَرُبَ مِنْ بَغْدَاذَ، فَأَظْهَرَ الْغَضَبَ، وَسَارَ نَحْوَ الْمَوْصِلِ وَوَجَّهَ خَادِمَهُ بُشْرَى بِرِسَالَةٍ إِلَى الْمُقْتَدِرِ، فَسَأَلَهُ الْحُسَيْنُ عَنِ الرِّسَالَةِ، فَقَالَ: لَا أَذْكُرُهَا إِلَّا لِأَمِيرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ، فَأَنْفَذَ إِلَيْهِ الْمُقْتَدِرُ يَأْمُرُهُ بِذِكْرِ مَا مَعَهُ مِنَ الرِّسَالَةِ لِلْوَزِيرِ، فَامْتَنَعَ، وَقَالَ: مَا أَمَرَنِي صَاحِبِي بِهَذَا، فَسَبَّهُ الْوَزِيرُ، وَشَتَمَ صَاحِبَهُ، وَأَمَرَ بِضَرْبِهِ، وَصَادَرَهُ بِثَلَاثِمِائَةِ أَلْفِ دِينَارٍ، وَأَخَذَ خَطَّهُ بِهَا، وَحَبَسَهُ وَنَهَبَ دَارَهُ. فَلَمَّا بَلَغَ مُؤْنِسًا مَا جَرَى عَلَى خَادِمِهِ، وَهُوَ يَنْتَظِرُ أَنْ يُطَيِّبَ الْمُقْتَدِرُ قَلْبَهُ، وَيُعِيدَهُ، فَلَمَّا عَلِمَ ذَلِكَ سَارَ نَحْوَ ( الْمَوْصِلِ وَمَعَهُ جَمِيعُ قُوَّادِهِ، فَكَتَبَ الْحُسَيْنُ إِلَى الْقُوَّادِ وَالْغِلْمَانِ يَأْمُرُهُمْ بِالرُّجُوعِ إِلَى بَغْدَاذَ، فَعَادَ جَمَاعَةٌ، وَسَارَ مُؤْنِسٌ نَحْوَ ) الْمَوْصِلِ فِي أَصْحَابِهِ وَمَمَالِيكِهِ، وَمَعَهُ مِنَ السَّاجِيَّةِ ثَمَانِمِائَةِ رَجُلٍ وَتَقَدَّمَ الْوَزِيرُ بِقَبْضِ أَقَطَاعِ مُؤْنِسٍ وَأَمْلَاكِهِ وَأَمْلَاكِ مَنْ مَعَهُ، فَحَصَلَ مِنْ ذَلِكَ مَالٌ عَظِيمٌ، وَزَادَ ذَلِكَ فِي مَحَلِّ الْوَزِيرِ عِنْدَ الْمُقْتَدِرِ، فَلَقَّبَهُ " عَمِيدَ الدَّوْلَةِ "، وَضَرَبَ اسْمَهُ عَلَى الدِّينَارِ وَالدِّرْهَمِ، وَتَمَكَّنَ مِنَ الْوِزَارَةِ، وَوَلَّى وَعَزَلَ. وَكَانَ فِيمَنْ تَوَلَّى أَبُو يُوسُفَ يَعْقُوبُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ الْبَرِيدِيُّ، وَلَّاهُ الْوَزِيرُ الْبَصْرَةَ وَجَمِيعَ أَعْمَالِهَا بِمَبْلَغٍ لَا يَفِي بِالنَّفَقَاتِ عَلَى الْبَصْرَةِ وَمَا يَتَعَلَّقُ بِهَا، بَلْ فَضَلَ لِأَبِي يُوسُفَ مِقْدَارُ ثَلَاثِينَ أَلْفَ دِينَارٍ أَحَالَهُ الْوَزِيرُ بِهَا، فَلَمَّا عَلِمَ ذَلِكَ الْفَضْلُ بْنُ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْفُرَاتِ اسْتَدْرَكَ عَلَى أَبِي يُوسُفَ، وَأَظْهَرَ لَهُ الْغَلَطَ فِي الضَّمَانِ، وَأَنَّهُ لَا يُمْضِيهِ، فَأَجَابَ إِلَى أَنْ يَقُومَ بِنَفَقَاتِ الْبَصْرَةِ، وَيَحْمِلَ إِلَى بَيْتِ الْمَالِ كُلَّ سَنَةٍ ثَمَانِينَ أَلْفَ دِينَارٍ، وَانْتَهَى ذَلِكَ إِلَى الْمُقْتَدِرِ، فَحَسُنَ مَوْقِعُهُ عِنْدَهُ، ( فَقَصَدَهُ الْوَزِيرُ، فَاسْتَتَرَ )، وَسَعَى بِالْوَزِيرِ إِلَى الْمُقْتَدِرِ إِلَى أَنْ أَفْسَدَ حَالَهُ.

✧ Then the Year 320 AH of the Hijrah Began Account of Muʾnis's March to al-Mawṣil In this year, in al-Muḥarram, Muʾnis al-Muẓaffar marched to al-Mawṣil in anger at al-Muqtadir. The reason for his march was that when it was confirmed to him that the vizier al-Ḥusayn b. al-Qāsim had sent to Hārūn b. Gharīb and Muḥammad b. Yāqūt summoning the two of them, his unease increased. Then he heard that al-Ḥusayn had gathered the men and the ḥujariyya pages in the caliph's residence, and had reached an agreement with them, and that Hārūn b. Gharīb had drawn near to Baghdādh. So he displayed anger and marched toward al-Mawṣil, and he dispatched his servant Bushrā with a message to al-Muqtadir. Al-Ḥusayn asked him about the message, and he said: "I will not mention it except to the Commander of the Faithful." So al-Muqtadir sent to him ordering him to mention the message he carried to the vizier, but he refused and said: "My master did not command me to do this." The vizier reviled him and insulted his master, ordered him to be beaten, fined him three hundred thousand dinars, obtained his written acknowledgment of it, imprisoned him, and plundered his house. When the news of what had befallen his servant reached Muʾnis, while he was waiting for al-Muqtadir to soothe his heart and restore him, and he learned of that, he marched toward al-Mawṣil with all his commanders. Al-Ḥusayn wrote to the commanders and pages ordering them to return to Baghdādh. A group returned, and Muʾnis marched toward al-Mawṣil with his companions and his mamlūks, having with him eight hundred men of the Sājiyya. The vizier proceeded to seize Muʾnis's fiefs and properties and the properties of those with him. From that a great amount of wealth was obtained, and that increased the vizier's standing with al-Muqtadir. He gave him the title "ʿAmīd al-Dawla," struck his name on the dinar and the dirham, and he gained full control of the vizierate, appointing and dismissing. Among those he appointed was Abū Yūsuf Yaʿqūb b. Muḥammad al-Barīdī. The vizier appointed him over al-Baṣra and all its districts for a sum that did not cover the expenses for al-Baṣra and what pertained to it. Rather, a surplus of about thirty thousand dinars remained for Abū Yūsuf, for which the vizier gave him a draft. When al-Faḍl b. Jaʿfar b. Muḥammad b. al-Furāt learned of that, he found fault with Abū Yūsuf and showed him the error in the contract, and that he would not ratify it. He agreed to undertake the expenses of al-Baṣra and to remit to the treasury every year eighty thousand dinars. That reached al-Muqtadir, and it pleased him. Then the vizier sought him, and he went into hiding, and he intrigued against the vizier with al-Muqtadir until he ruined his position.
