Then the year 336 AH began
ثُمَّ دَخَلَتْ سَنَةُ سِتٍّ وَثَلَاثِينَ وَثَلَاثِمِائَةٍ ذِكْرُ اسْتِيلَاءِ مُعِزِّ الدَّوْلَةِ عَلَى الْبَصْرَةِ فِي هَذِهِ السَّنَةِ سَارَ مُعِزُّ الدَّوْلَةِ وَمَعَهُ الْمُطِيعُ لِلَّهِ إِلَى الْبَصْرَةِ ; لِاسْتِنْقَاذِهَا مِنْ يَدِ أَبِي الْقَاسِمِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ الْبَرِيدِيِّ، وَسَلَكُوا الْبَرِّيَّةَ إِلَيْهَا، فَأَرْسَلَ الْقَرَامِطَةُ مِنْ هَجَرَ إِلَى مُعِزِّ الدَّوْلَةِ يُنْكِرُونَ عَلَيْهِ مَسِيرَهُ إِلَى الْبَرِّيَّةِ بِغَيْرِ أَمْرِهِمْ، وَهِيَ لَهُمْ، فَلَمْ يُجِبْهُمْ عَنْ كِتَابِهِمْ، وَقَالَ لِلرَّسُولِ: قُلْ لَهُمْ مَنْ أَنْتُمْ حَتَّى تَسْتَأْمِرُوا، وَلَيْسَ قَصْدِي مِنْ أَخْذِ الْبَصْرَةِ غَيْرَكُمْ، وَسَتَعْلَمُونَ مَا تَلْقَوْنَ مِنِّي. وَلَمَّا وَصَلَ مُعِزُّ الدَّوْلَةِ إِلَى الدَّرْهَمِيَّةِ، اسْتَأْمَنَ إِلَيْهِ عَسَاكِرُ أَبِي الْقَاسِمِ الْبَرِيدِيِّ، وَهَرَبَ أَبُو الْقَاسِمِ فِي الرَّابِعِ وَالْعِشْرِينَ مِنْ رَبِيعٍ الْآخَرِ إِلَى هَجَرَ، وَالْتَجَأَ إِلَى الْقَرَامِطَةِ، وَمَلَكَ مُعِزُّ الدَّوْلَةِ الْبَصْرَةَ، فَانْحَلَّتِ الْأَسْعَارُ بِبَغْدَاذَ انْحِلَالًا كَثِيرًا. وَسَارَ مُعِزُّ الدَّوْلَةِ مِنَ الْبَصْرَةِ إِلَى الْأَهْوَازِ لِيَلْقَى أَخَاهُ عِمَادَ الدَّوْلَةِ، وَأَقَامَ الْخَلِيفَةُ وَأَبُو جَعْفَرٍ الصَّيْمَرِيُّ بِالْبَصْرَةِ، وَخَالَفَ كُورَكِيرُ، وَهُوَ مِنْ أَكَابِرِ الْقُوَّادِ، عَلَى مُعِزِّ الدَّوْلَةِ، فَسَيَّرَ إِلَيْهِ الصَّيْمَرِيُّ، فَقَاتَلَهُ فَانْهَزَمَ كُورَكِيرُ وَأُخِذَ أَسِيرًا، فَحَبَسَهُ مُعِزُّ الدَّوْلَةِ بِقَلْعَةِ رَامَهُرْمُزَ، وَلَقِيَ مُعِزُّ الدَّوْلَةِ أَخَاهُ عِمَادَ الدَّوْلَةِ بِأَرَّجَانَ فِي شَعْبَانَ، وَقَبَّلَ الْأَرْضَ بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ، وَكَانَ يَقِفُ قَائِمًا عِنْدَهُ، فَيَأْمُرُهُ بِالْجُلُوسِ، فَلَا يَفْعَلُ، ثُمَّ عَادَ إِلَى بَغْدَاذَ، وَعَادَ الْمُطِيعُ أَيْضًا إِلَيْهَا، وَأَظْهَرَ مُعِزُّ الدَّوْلَةِ أَنَّهُ يُرِيدُ [ أَنْ ] يَسِيرَ إِلَى الْمَوْصِلِ، فَتَرَدَّدَتِ الرُّسُلُ بَيْنَهُ وَبَيْنَ نَاصِرِ الدَّوْلَةِ، وَاسْتَقَرَّ الصُّلْحُ وَحُمِلَ الْمَالُ إِلَى مُعِزِّ الدَّوْلَةِ فَسَكَتَ عَنْهُ.

✧ Then the year 336 AH began Mention of Muʿizz al-Dawlah’s seizure of al-Baṣrah In this year, Muʿizz al-Dawlah marched, accompanied by al-Muṭīʿ li-llāh, to al-Baṣrah, to rescue it from the hand of Abū al-Qāsim ʿAbd Allāh b. Abī ʿAbd Allāh al-Barīdī. They took the desert route to it. The Qarāmiṭah from Hajar sent to Muʿizz al-Dawlah, protesting against his march into the desert without their order, since it belonged to them. He did not reply to their letter, and said to the messenger: “Tell them: Who are you, that you should issue orders? My intention in taking al-Baṣrah is none other than you, and you will soon know what you will encounter from me.” When Muʿizz al-Dawlah reached al-Darhamiyyah, the armies of Abū al-Qāsim al-Barīdī sought safety with him, and Abū al-Qāsim fled on the twenty-fourth of Rabīʿ al-Ākhir to Hajar, seeking refuge with the Qarāmiṭah. Muʿizz al-Dawlah took possession of al-Baṣrah, and prices in Baghdādh fell considerably. Muʿizz al-Dawlah then marched from al-Baṣrah to al-Ahwāz to meet his brother ʿImād al-Dawlah. The caliph and Abū Jaʿfar al-Ṣaymarī remained in al-Baṣrah. Kūrakīr, one of the senior commanders, rebelled against Muʿizz al-Dawlah. He sent al-Ṣaymarī against him, who fought him. Kūrakīr was defeated and taken prisoner, and Muʿizz al-Dawlah imprisoned him in the fortress of Rāmahurmuz. Muʿizz al-Dawlah met his brother ʿImād al-Dawlah at Arrajān in Shaʿbān. He kissed the ground before him and would stand in his presence. When he ordered him to sit, he would not do so. Then he returned to Baghdādh, and al-Muṭīʿ also returned there. Muʿizz al-Dawlah announced that he intended to march to al-Mawṣil. Messengers went back and forth between him and Nāṣir al-Dawlah, and peace was settled, with money delivered to Muʿizz al-Dawlah, so he refrained from him.
