ذِكْرُ مُلْكِ رُكْنِ الدَّوْلَةِ أَصْبَهَانَ وَفِيهَا عَادَ رُكْنُ الدَّوْلَةِ فَاسْتَوْلَى عَلَى أَصْبَهَانَ، سَارَ مِنْ رَامَهُرْمُزَ فَاسْتَوْلَى عَلَيْهَا، وَأَخْرَجَ عَنْهَا أَصْحَابَ وَشْمَكِيرَ وَقَتَلَ مِنْهُمْ، وَاسْتَأْسَرَ بِضْعَةَ عَشَرَ قَائِدًا، وَكَانَ سَبَبُ ذَلِكَ أَنَّ وَشْمَكِيرَ كَانَ قَدْ أَنْفَذَ عَسْكَرَهُ إِلَى مَاكَانَ نَجْدَةً لَهُ عَلَى مَا ذَكَرْنَاهُ، فَخَلَتْ بِلَادُ وَشْمَكِيرَ مِنَ الْعَسَاكِرِ، ( وَسَارَ رُكْنُ الدَّوْلَةِ إِلَى أَصْبَهَانَ، وَبِهَا نَفَرٌ يَسِيرٌ مِنَ الْعَسَاكِرِ )، فَهَزَمَهُمْ وَاسْتَوْلَى عَلَيْهَا، وَكَاتَبَ هُوَ وَأَخُوهُ عِمَادُ الدَّوْلَةِ أَبَا عَلِيِّ بْنَ مُحْتَاجٍ يُحَرِّضَانِهِ عَلَى مَاكَانَ وَوَشْمَكِيرَ، وَيَعِدَانِهِ الْمُسَاعَدَةَ عَلَيْهِمَا، فَصَارَ بَيْنَهُمْ بِذَلِكَ مَوَدَّةٌ.
Translation
✧ Account of Rukn al-Dawlah's conquest of Isfahan In this year Rukn al-Dawlah returned and took possession of Isfahan. He marched from Ramahurmuz and seized it, expelled Washmakir's men from it, killed some of them, and captured more than ten commanders. The reason for this was that Washmakir had sent his army to Makan as a reinforcement for him, as we have mentioned, so Washmakir's lands were emptied of troops. Rukn al-Dawlah marched to Isfahan, where there was a small number of troops, defeated them, and took possession of it. He and his brother ʿImad al-Dawlah wrote to Abu ʿAli b. Muhtaj, urging him against Makan and Washmakir and promising him assistance against them, and thus friendship arose among them.
