ذِكْرُ قَتْلِ أَبِي الْحُسَيْنِ الْبَرِيدِيِّ وَإِحْرَاقِهِ فِي هَذِهِ السَّنَةِ فِي رَبِيعٍ الْأَوَّلِ، قَدِمَ أَبُو الْحُسَيْنِ الْبَرِيدِيُّ إِلَى بَغْدَاذَ مُسْتَأْمِنًا إِلَى تُوزُونَ، فَأَمَّنَهُ، وَأَنْزَلَهُ أَبُو جَعْفَرِ بْنُ شَيْرَزَادَ إِلَى جَانِبِ دَارِهِ، وَأَكْرَمَهُ، وَطَلَبَ أَنْ يُقَوِّيَ يَدَهُ عَلَى ابْنِ أَخِيهِ، وَضَمِنَ أَنَّهُ إِذَا أَخَذَ الْبَصْرَةَ يُوصِلُ لَهُ مَالًا كَثِيرًا، فَوَعَدُوهُ النَّجْدَةَ وَالْمُسَاعَدَةَ، فَأَنْفَذَ ابْنُ أَخِيهِ مِنَ الْبَصْرَةِ مَالًا كَثِيرًا ( خَدَمَ بِهِ ) تُوزُونَ وَابْنَ شَيْرَزَادَ، فَأَنْفَذُوا لَهُ الْخِلَعَ وَأَقَرُّوهُ عَلَى عَمَلِهِ. فَلَمَّا عَلِمَ أَبُو الْحُسَيْنِ بِذَلِكَ سَعَى فِي أَنْ يَكْتُبَ لِتُوزُونَ، وَيَقْبِضَ عَلَى ابْنِ شَيْرَزَادَ، فَعَلَمَ ابْنُ شَيْرَزَادَ بِذَلِكَ، فَسَعَى بِهِ إِلَى أَنْ قُبِضَ عَلَيْهِ، وَقُيِّدَ وَضُرِبَ ضَرْبًا عَنِيفًا، وَكَانَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنُ أَبِي مُوسَى الْهَاشِمِيُّ قَدْ أَخَذَ أَيَّامَ نَاصِرِ الدَّوْلَةِ فَتْوَى الْفُقَهَاءِ وَالْقُضَاةِ بِإِحْلَالِ دَمِهِ، فَأَحْضَرَهَا، وَأَحْضَرَ الْقُضَاةَ وَالْفُقَهَاءَ فِي دَارِ الْخَلِيفَةِ، وَأُخْرِجَ أَبُو الْحُسَيْنِ، وَسُئِلَ الْفُقَهَاءُ عَنِ الْفَتَاوَى، فَاعْتَرَفُوا أَنَّهُمْ أَفْتَوْا بِذَلِكَ، فَأَمَرَ بِضَرْبِ رَقَبَتِهِ، فَقُتِلَ وَصُلِبَ، ثُمَّ أُنْزِلَ وَأُحْرِقَ، وَنُهِبَتْ دَارُهُ، وَكَانَ هَذَا آخِرَ أَمْرِ الْبَرِيدِيِّينَ، وَكَانَ قَتْلُهُ مُنْتَصَفَ ذِي الْحِجَّةِ.

✧ Mention of the killing of Abu al-Husayn al-Baridi and his burning In this year, in Rabi' al-Awwal, Abu al-Husayn al-Baridi came to Baghdad seeking safety from Tuzun, who granted him security. Abu Ja'far b. Shirazad lodged him beside his own house and honored him. He asked to strengthen his hand against his nephew and guaranteed that if he took Basra, he would deliver to him much wealth. They promised him aid and assistance, but his nephew sent from Basra much wealth (with which he served) Tuzun and Ibn Shirazad, so they sent him robes of honor and confirmed him in his office. When Abu al-Husayn learned of that, he worked to have himself appointed for Tuzun and to seize Ibn Shirazad. Ibn Shirazad learned of that, so he worked against him until he was seized, shackled, and beaten severely. Abu 'Abd Allah b. Abi Musa al-Hashimi had, during the days of Nasir al-Dawla, obtained the fatwas of the jurists and judges declaring his blood lawful, so he brought them, and he brought the judges and jurists into the caliph's palace. Abu al-Husayn was brought out, and the jurists were asked about the fatwas. They acknowledged that they had given those rulings, so he ordered that his neck be struck. He was killed and crucified, then taken down and burned, and his house was plundered. This was the last affair of the Baridis. His killing was in the middle of Dhu al-Hijjah.
