ذِكْرُ حَالِ عَبْدِ الْوَاحِدِ بْنِ الْمُقْتَدِرِ وَمَنْ مَعَهُ قَدْ ذَكَرْنَا هَرَبَ عَبْدِ الْوَاحِدِ بْنِ الْمُقْتَدِرِ، وَهَارُونَ بْنِ غَرِيبٍ، وَمُفْلِحٍ، وَمُحَمَّدِ بْنِ يَاقُوتٍ، وَابْنَيْ رَائِقٍ، بَعْدَ قَتْلِ الْمُقْتَدِرِ إِلَى الْمَدَائِنِ، ثُمَّ إِنَّهُمُ انْحَدَرُوا مِنْهَا إِلَى وَاسِطَ، وَأَقَامُوا بِهَا، وَخَافَهُمُ النَّاسُ، فَابْتَدَأَ هَارُونُ بْنُ غَرِيبٍ وَكَتَبَ إِلَى بَغْدَادَ يَطْلُبُ الْأَمَانَ، وَيَبْذُلُ مُصَادَرَةَ ثَلَاثِمِائَةِ أَلْفِ دِينَارٍ عَلَى أَنْ يُطْلِقَ لَهُ أَمْلَاكَهُ، وَيَنْزِلَ عَنِ الْأَمْلَاكِ الَّتِي اسْتَأْجَرَهَا، وَيُؤَدِّي مِنْ أَمْلَاكِهِ حُقُوقَ بَيْتِ الْمَالِ الْقَدِيمَةَ، فَأَجَابَهُ الْقَاهِرُ ( وَمُؤْنِسٌ ) إِلَى ذَلِكَ، وَكَتَبَا لَهُ كِتَابَ أَمَانٍ وَقُلِّدَ أَعْمَالَ مَاهِ الْكُوفَةِ، وَمَاسَبَذَانَ وَمَهْرَجَانِ قَذَقَ، وَسَارَ إِلَى بَغْدَاذَ. وَخَرَجَ عَبْدُ الْوَاحِدِ بْنُ الْمُقْتَدِرِ مِنْ وَاسِطَ فِيمَنْ بَقِيَ مَعَهُ وَمَضَوْا إِلَى السُّوسِ وَسُوقِ الْأَهْوَازِ، وَجَبَوُا الْمَالَ، وَطَرَدُوا الْعُمَّالَ، وَأَقَامُوا بِالْأَهْوَازِ فَجَهَّزَ مُؤْنِسٌ إِلَيْهِمْ جَيْشًا كَثِيفًا، وَجَعَلَ عَلَيْهِمْ بُلَيْقًا. وَكَانَ الَّذِي حَرَّضَهُمْ عَلَى إِنْفَاذِ الْجَيْشِ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ الْبَرِيدِيُّ، فَإِنَّهُ كَانَ قَدْ خَرَجَ مِنَ الْحَبْسِ فَخَوَّفَهُمْ عَاقِبَةَ إِهْمَالِ عَبْدِ الْوَاحِدِ وَمَنْ مَعَهُ وَبَذَلَ مُسَاعَدَةً مُعَجَّلَةً خَمْسِينَ أَلْفَ دِينَارٍ عَلَى أَنْ يَتَوَلَّى الْأَهْوَازَ، وَعِنْدَ اسْتِقْرَارِهِ بِتِلْكَ الْبِلَادِ يُعَجِّلُ بَاقِيَ الْمَالِ، وَأَمَرَ مُؤْنِسٌ بِالتَّجْهِيزِ، وَأَنْفَقَ ذَلِكَ الْمَالَ، وَسَارَ الْعَسْكَرُ وَفِيهِمْ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ. وَكَانَ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَاقُوتٍ قَدِ اسْتَبَدَّ بِالْأَمْوَالِ وَالْأَمْرِ، فَنَفَرَتْ لِذَلِكَ قُلُوبُ مَنْ مَعَهُ مِنَ الْقُوَّادِ وَالْجُنْدِ فَلَمَّا قَرُبَ الْعَسْكَرُ مِنْ وَاسِطَ أَظْهَرَ مَنْ مَعَهُ مِنَ الْقُوَّادِ مَا فِي نُفُوسِهِمْ، وَفَارَقُوهُ، وَلَمَّا وَصَلَ بُلَيْقٌ إِلَى السُّوسِ فَارَقَ عَبْدُ الْوَاحِدِ وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَاقُوتٍ الْأَهْوَازَ وَسَارَا إِلَى تُسْتَرَ، فَعَمِلَ الْقَرَارِيطِيُّ، وَكَانَ مَعَ الْعَسْكَرِ، ( بِأَهْلِ الْأَهْوَازِ ) مَا لَمْ يَفْعَلْهُ أَحَدٌ: نَهَبَ أَمْوَالَهُمْ، وَصَادَرَهُمْ جَمِيعَهُمْ، وَلَمْ يَسْلَمْ مِنْهُمْ أَحَدٌ. وَنَزَلَ عَبْدُ الْوَاحِدِ وَابْنُ يَاقُوتٍ بِتُسْتَرَ، وَفَارَقَهُمَا مَنْ مَعَهُمَا مِنَ الْقُوَّادِ إِلَى بُلَيْقٍ بِأَمَانٍ وَبَقِيَ مُفْلِحٌ وَسُرُورٌ الْخَادِمُ مَعَ عَبْدِ الْوَاحِدِ، فَقَالَا لِمُحَمَّدِ بْنِ يَاقُوتٍ: أَنْتَ مُعْتَصِمٌ بِهَذِهِ الْمَدِينَةِ، وَبِمَالِكَ وَرِجَالِكَ، وَنَحْنُ فَلَا مَالَ مَعَنَا، وَلَا رِجَالَ، وَمُقَامُنَا مَعَكَ يَضُرُّكَ، وَلَا يَنْفَعُكَ، وَقَدْ عَزَمْنَا عَلَى أَخْذِ الْأَمَانِ لَنَا وَلِعَبْدِ الْوَاحِدِ بْنِ الْمُقْتَدِرِ، فَأَذِنَ لَهُمَا فِي ذَلِكَ فَكَتَبَا إِلَى بُلَيْقٍ فَأَمَّنَهُمْ، فَعَبَرُوا إِلَيْهِ، وَبَقِيَ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَاقُوتٍ مُنْفَرِدًا، فَضَعُفَتْ نَفْسُهُ، وَتَحَيَّرَ، فَتَرَاسَلَ هُوَ وَبُلَيْقٌ، وَاسْتَقَرَّ بَيْنَهُمَا أَنَّهُ يَخْرُجُ إِلَى بُلَيْقٍ عَلَى شَرْطٍ أَنَّهُ يُؤَمِّنُهُ، وَيَضْمَنُ لَهُ أَمَانَ مُؤْنِسٍ وَالْقَاهِرِ، فَفَعَلَ ذَلِكَ وَحَلَفَ لَهُ، وَخَرَجَ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَاقُوتٍ مَعَهُ إِلَى بَغْدَاذَ. وَاسْتَوْلَى أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ الْبَرِيدِيُّ عَلَى الْبِلَادِ، وَعَسَفَ أَهْلَهَا، وَأَخَذَ أَمْوَالَ التُّجَّارِ وَعَمِلَ بِأَهْلِ الْبِلَادِ مَا لَا يَعْمَلُهُ الْفِرِنْجُ، وَلَمْ يَمْنَعْهُ أَحَدٌ عَمَّا يُرِيدُ، وَلَمْ يَكُنْ عِنْدَهُ مِنَ الدِّينِ مَا يَزَعُهُ عَنْ ذَلِكَ، وَعَادَ إِخْوَتُهُ إِلَى أَعْمَالِهِمْ، وَلَمَّا عَادَ عَبْدُ الْوَاحِدِ وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَاقُوتٍ وَفَى لَهُمُ الْقَاهِرُ، وَأَطْلَقَ لِعَبْدِ الْوَاحِدِ أَمْلَاكَهُ، وَتَرَكَ لِوَالِدَتِهِ الْمُصَادَرَةَ الَّتِي صَادَرَهَا بِهَا.
Translation
✧ Mention of the situation of ʿAbd al-Wāḥid b. al-Muqtadir and those with him We have already mentioned the flight of ʿAbd al-Wāḥid b. al-Muqtadir, Hārūn b. Gharīb, Mufliḥ, Muḥammad b. Yāqūt, and the two sons of Rāʾiq, after the killing of al-Muqtadir, to al-Madāʾin. Then they descended from there to Wāsiṭ and stayed there, and the people feared them. Hārūn b. Gharīb began and wrote to Baghdād seeking amān, offering to pay a muṣādara of three hundred thousand dīnārs on condition that his properties be released to him, that he relinquish the properties he had leased, and that he pay from his properties the old rights of the bayt al-māl. Al-Qāhir and Muʾnis responded to him with that, and they wrote for him a letter of amān, and he was invested with the districts of Māh al-Kūfa, Māsabadhān, and Mihrajān Qadhaq, and he traveled to Baghdād. ʿAbd al-Wāḥid b. al-Muqtadir departed from Wāsiṭ with those who remained with him, and they went to al-Sūs and Sūq al-Ahwāz. They collected the revenue, expelled the tax collectors, and stayed in al-Ahwāz. Muʾnis equipped a dense army against them and placed Bulayq in command of them. The one who incited them to send the army was Abū ʿAbd Allāh al-Barīdī, for he had come out of prison and warned them of the consequences of neglecting ʿAbd al-Wāḥid and those with him. He offered immediate assistance of fifty thousand dīnārs on condition that he be given charge of al-Ahwāz, and when he was established in those lands he would pay the remainder of the money promptly. Muʾnis ordered the equipping and spent that money, and the army marched, with Abū ʿAbd Allāh among them. Muḥammad b. Yāqūt had seized sole control over the funds and command, and the hearts of the commanders and troops with him were alienated by that. When the army drew near to Wāsiṭ, the commanders with him revealed what was in their hearts and deserted him. When Bulayq reached al-Sūs, ʿAbd al-Wāḥid and Muḥammad b. Yāqūt left al-Ahwāz and went to Tustar. Al-Qarārīṭī, who was with the army, did to the people of al-Ahwāz what no one had done: he plundered their wealth and subjected them all to muṣādara, and not one of them was spared. ʿAbd al-Wāḥid and Ibn Yāqūt encamped at Tustar, and the commanders with them deserted to Bulayq under amān. Mufliḥ and the eunuch Surūr remained with ʿAbd al-Wāḥid, and they said to Muḥammad b. Yāqūt: "You are protected by this city, your wealth, and your men, but we have neither wealth nor men with us. Our staying with you harms you and does not benefit you. We have resolved to seek amān for ourselves and for ʿAbd al-Wāḥid b. al-Muqtadir." He gave them permission for that, so they wrote to Bulayq and he granted them amān, and they crossed over to him. Muḥammad b. Yāqūt remained alone, and his spirit weakened, and he was bewildered. He and Bulayq exchanged messages, and it was settled between them that he would go out to Bulayq on condition that he grant him amān and guarantee him the amān of Muʾnis and al-Qāhir. He did that and swore to him, and Muḥammad b. Yāqūt went out with him to Baghdād. Abū ʿAbd Allāh al-Barīdī took control of the lands, oppressed their people, seized the wealth of the merchants, and did to the people of the lands what the Franks would not do. No one restrained him from what he wanted, and he had no religious scruple to deter him from that. His brothers returned to their districts. When ʿAbd al-Wāḥid and Muḥammad b. Yāqūt returned, al-Qāhir fulfilled his promise to them and released ʿAbd al-Wāḥid's properties to him, and he remitted for his mother the muṣādara with which he had subjected her.
