ذِكْرُ عَوْدِ الْبَرِيدِيِّ إِلَى وَاسِطَ كَانَ الْبَرِيدِيُّ يَأْمُرُ الْجُنْدَ بِطَلَبِ الْأَمْوَالِ مِنَ الْخَلِيفَةِ، فَلَمَّا أَنْفَذَ الْخَلِيفَةُ إِلَيْهِ الْمَالَ الْمَذْكُورَ، انْصَرَفَتْ أَطْمَاعُ الْجُنْدِ عَنِ الْخَلِيفَةِ إِلَى الْبَرِيدِيِّ وَعَادَتْ مَكِيدَتُهُ عَلَيْهِ، فَشَغَبَ الْجُنْدُ عَلَيْهِ، وَكَانَ الدَّيْلَمُ قَدْ قَدَّمُوا عَلَى أَنْفُسِهِمْ كُورَتِكِينُ الدَّيْلَمَيُّ، وَقَدَّمَ الْأَتْرَاكُ عَلَى أَنْفُسِهِمْ تُكَيْنَكَ التُّرْكِيَّ غُلَامَ بُجْكُمَ، وَثَارَ الدَّيْلَمُ إِلَى دَارِ الْبَرِيدِيِّ، فَأَحْرَقُوا دَارَ أَخِيهِ أَبِي الْحُسَيْنِ الَّتِي كَانَ يَنْزِلُهَا، وَنَفَرُوا عَنِ الْبَرِيدِيِّ، وَانْضَافَ تُكَيْنَكُ إِلَيْهِمْ، وَصَارَتْ أَيْدِيهِمْ وَاحِدَةً، وَاتَّفَقُوا عَلَى قَصْدِ الْبَرِيدِيِّ وَنَهْبِ مَا عِنْدَهُ مِنَ الْأَمْوَالِ، فَسَارُوا إِلَى النَّجْمِيِّ وَوَافَقَهُمُ الْعَامَّةُ، ( فَقَطَعَ الْبَرِيدِيُّ الْجِسْرَ، وَوَقَعَتِ الْحَرْبُ فِي الْمَاءِ، وَوَثَبَ الْعَامَّةُ ) بِالْجَانِبِ الْغَرْبِيِّ عَلَى أَصْحَابِ الْبَرِيدِيِّ، فَهَرَبَ هُوَ وَأَخُوهُ وَابْنُهُ أَبُو الْقَاسِمِ وَأَصْحَابُهُ، وَانْحَدَرُوا فِي الْمَاءِ إِلَى وَاسِطَ، وَنُهِبَتْ دَارُهُ فِي النَّجْمِيِّ وَدُورُ قُوَّادِهِ، وَكَانَ هَرَبُهُ سَلْخَ رَمَضَانَ، وَكَانَتْ مُدَّةُ مَقَامِهِ أَرْبَعَةً وَعِشْرِينَ يَوْمًا.
Translation
✧ Mention of al-Barīdī’s Return to Wāsiṭ Al-Barīdī was ordering the troops to seek funds from the Caliph, but when the Caliph sent him the aforementioned money, the troops’ greed turned away from the Caliph toward al-Barīdī, and his scheme rebounded upon him, so the troops rioted against him. The Daylamites had put forward over themselves Kūrtakīn al-Daylamī, and the Turks had put forward over themselves Tukaynak al-Turkī, the page of Bujkam. The Daylamites rose against al-Barīdī’s house, burning the house of his brother Abū al-Ḥusayn in which he used to reside, and they deserted al-Barīdī. Tukaynak joined them, and their hands became one, and they agreed to make for al-Barīdī and plunder the wealth he had, so they marched to al-Najmī and the common people went along with them. (Al-Barīdī cut the bridge, and fighting broke out on the water, and the common people) on the western side pounced on al-Barīdī’s followers, so he fled along with his brother, his son Abū al-Qāsim, and his companions, and they went down the water to Wāsiṭ. His house in al-Najmī and the houses of his commanders were plundered. His flight was on the last day of Ramaḍān, and the duration of his stay had been twenty-four days.
