ذِكْرُ وِزَارَةِ الْبَرِيدِيِّ لِلْخَلِيفَةِ فِي هَذِهِ السَّنَةِ مَاتَ الْوَزِيرُ أَبُو الْفَتْحِ الْفَضْلُ بْنُ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ الْفُرَاتِ بِالرَّمْلَةِ، وَقَدْ ذَكَرْنَا سَبَبَ مَسِيرِهِ إِلَى الشَّامِ، فَكَانَتْ وِزَارَتُهُ سَنَةً وَثَمَانِيَةَ أَشْهُرٍ وَخَمْسَةً وَعِشْرِينَ يَوْمًا، وَلَمَّا سَارَ إِلَى الشَّامِ، اسْتَنَابَ بِالْحَضْرَةِ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ عَلِيٍّ النُّقُرِيِّ. وَكَانَ بُجْكُمُ قَدْ قَبَضَ عَلَى وَزِيرِهِ عَلِيِّ بْنِ خَلَفِ بْنِ طِيَّابٍ، فَاسْتَوْزَرَ أَبَا جَعْفَرٍ مُحَمَّدَ بْنَ يَحْيَى بْنَ شَيْرَزَادَ، فَسَعَى أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ فِي الصُّلْحِ بَيْنَ بُجْكُمَ وَالْبَرِيدِيِّ، فَتَمَّ ذَلِكَ، ثُمَّ ضَمِنَ الْبَرِيدِيُّ أَعْمَالَ وَاسِطَ بِسِتِّمِائَةِ أَلْفِ دِينَارٍ كُلَّ سَنَةٍ، ثُمَّ شَرَعَ ابْنُ شَيْرَزَادَ أَيْضًا بَعْدَ مَوْتِ أَبِي الْفَتْحِ الْوَزِيرِ بِالرَّمْلَةِ فِي تَقْلِيدِ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ الْبَرِيدِيِّ الْوِزَارَةَ، فَأَرْسَلَ إِلَيْهِ الرَّاضِي فِي ذَلِكَ، فَأَجَابَ إِلَيْهِ فِي رَجَبٍ، وَاسْتَنَابَ بِالْحَضْرَةِ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ عَلِيٍّ النُّقُرِيَّ أَيْضًا كَمَا كَانَ يُخْلِفُ أَبَا الْفَتْحِ.
Translation
✧ Mention of the Vizierate of al-Barīdī for the Caliph In this year, the vizier Abū al-Fatḥ al-Faḍl b. Jaʿfar b. al-Furāt died at al-Ramlah. We have already mentioned the reason for his journey to Syria. His vizierate lasted one year, eight months, and twenty-five days. When he set out for Syria, he appointed as his deputy in the capital ʿAbd Allāh b. ʿAlī al-Nuqurī. Bajkam had arrested his vizier ʿAlī b. Khalaf b. Ṭiyāb, so he appointed as vizier Abū Jaʿfar Muḥammad b. Yaḥyā b. Shīrazād. Abū Jaʿfar then strove to make peace between Bajkam and al-Barīdī, and that was accomplished. Then al-Barīdī undertook the tax farms of Wāsiṭ for six hundred thousand dinars every year. Then Ibn Shīrazād also began, after the death of the vizier Abū al-Fatḥ at al-Ramlah, to arrange the appointment of Abū ʿAbd Allāh al-Barīdī to the vizierate. He sent to al-Rāḍī concerning that, and he consented to it in Rajab. He appointed as his deputy in the capital ʿAbd Allāh b. ʿAlī al-Nuqurī also, just as he had deputized for Abū al-Fatḥ.
