Then the year 353 AH began
وَفِيهَا قَصَدَتِ الْقَرَامِطَةُ مَدِينَةَ طَبَرِيَّةَ لِيَأْخُذُوهَا مِنْ يَدِ الْإِخْشِيدِ صَاحِبِ مِصْرَ وَالشَّامِ، وَطَلَبُوا مِنْ سَيْفِ الدَّوْلَةِ أَنْ يَمُدَّهُمْ بِحَدِيدٍ يَتَّخِذُونَ مِنْهُ سِلَاحًا، فَقَلَعَ لَهُمْ أَبْوَابَ الرَّقَّةِ - وَكَانَتْ مِنْ حَدِيدٍ - حَتَّى أَخَذَ أَوَاقِيَّ الْبَاعَةِ، وَأَرْسَلَ بِذَلِكَ كُلِّهِ إِلَيْهِمْ حَتَّى قَالُوا: اكْتَفَيْنَا.
Translation
✧ In this year, the Qarmatians headed for the city of Tiberias to take it from the hand of the Ikhshīd, the ruler of Egypt and Syria. They asked Sayf al-Dawlah to supply them with iron from which to make weapons, so he removed for them the gates of al-Raqqah—which were made of iron—including the weights of the vendors, and sent all of that to them until they said: 'We have enough.'
