ذِكْرُ اسْتِيلَاءِ عَضُدِ الدَّوْلَةِ عَلَى جُرْجَانَ فِي هَذِهِ السَّنَةِ، فِي جُمَادَى الْآخِرَةِ، اسْتَوْلَى عَضُدُ الدَّوْلَةِ عَلَى بِلَادِ جُرْجَانَ وَطَبَرِسْتَانَ، وَأَجْلَى عَنْهَا صَاحِبَهَا قَابُوسَ بْنَ وَشْمَكِيرَ. وَسَبَبُ ذَلِكَ أَنَّ عَضُدَ الدَّوْلَةِ لَمَّا اسْتَوْلَى عَلَى بِلَادِ أَخِيهِ فَخْرِ الدَّوْلَةِ انْهَزَمَ فَخْرُ الدَّوْلَةِ، فَلَحِقَ بِقَابُوسٍ، كَمَا ذَكَرْنَاهُ، وَبَلَغَ ذَلِكَ عَضُدَ الدَّوْلَةِ، فَأَرْسَلَ إِلَى قَابُوسٍ يَبْذُلُ لَهُ الرَّغَائِبَ مِنَ الْبِلَادِ، وَالْأَمْوَالِ، وَالْعُهُودِ، وَغَيْرِ ذَلِكَ، لِيُسَلِّمَ إِلَيْهِ أَخَاهُ فَخْرَ الدَّوْلَةِ، فَامْتَنَعَ قَابُوسٌ مِنْ ذَلِكَ،، وَلَمْ يُجِبْ إِلَيْهِ. فَجَهَّزَ عَضُدُ الدَّوْلَةِ أَخَاهُ مُؤَيَّدَ الدَّوْلَةِ، وَسَيَّرَهُ، وَمَعَهُ الْعَسَاكِرُ، وَالْأَمْوَالُ، وَالْعُدَدُ، إِلَى جُرْجَانَ. وَبَلَغَ الْخَبَرُ قَابُوسًا، فَسَارَ إِلَيْهِ، فَلَقِيَهُ بِنُوَاحِي أَسْتَرَابَاذَ، فَاقْتَتَلُوا مِنْ بُكْرَةٍ إِلَى الظُّهْرِ، فَانْهَزَمَ قَابُوسٌ وَأَصْحَابُهُ فِي جُمَادَى الْأُولَى، وَقَصَدَ قَابُوسٌ بَعْضَ قِلَاعِهِ الَّتِي فِيهَا ذَخَائِرُهُ وَأَمْوَالُهُ، فَأَخَذَ مَا أَرَادَ وَسَارَ نَحْوَ نَيْسَابُورَ، فَلَمَّا وَرَدَهَا لَحِقَ بِهِ فَخْرُ الدَّوْلَةِ، وَانْضَمَّ إِلَيْهِمَا مَنْ تَفَرَّقَ مِنْ أَصْحَابِهِمَا. وَكَانَ وُصُولُهُمَا إِلَيْهَا عِنْدَ وِلَايَةِ حُسَامِ الدَّوْلَةِ أَبِي الْعَبَّاسِ تَاشْ خُرَاسَانَ، فَكَتَبَ حُسَامُ الدَّوْلَةِ إِلَى الْأَمِيرِ أَبِي الْقَاسِمِ نُوحِ بْنِ مَنْصُورٍ يُعَرِّفُهُ خَبَرَ وُصُولِهِمَا، وَكَتَبَا أَيْضًا إِلَى نُوحٍ يُعَرِّفَانِهِ حَالَهُمَا، وَيَسْتَنْصُرَانِهِ عَلَى مُؤَيَّدِ الدَّوْلَةِ. فَوَرَدَتْ كُتُبُ نُوحٍ عَلَى حُسَامِ الدَّوْلَةِ يَأْمُرُهُ بِإِجْلَالِ مَحَلِّهِمَا، وَإِكْرَامِهِمَا، وَجَمْعِ الْعَسَاكِرِ وَالْمَسِيرِ مَعَهُمَا، وَإِعَادَتِهِمَا إِلَى مُلْكِهِمَا، وَكَتَبَ وَزِيرُهُ أَبُو الْحُسَيْنِ بِذَلِكَ أَيْضًا.

✧ Mention of ʿAḍud al-Dawlah's seizure of Jurjān In this year, in Jumādā al-Ākhirah, ʿAḍud al-Dawlah seized the lands of Jurjān and Ṭabaristān, and expelled their ruler Qābūs b. Washmakīr. The reason for this was that when ʿAḍud al-Dawlah seized the lands of his brother Fakhr al-Dawlah, Fakhr al-Dawlah fled and joined Qābūs, as we have mentioned. This reached ʿAḍud al-Dawlah, so he sent to Qābūs offering him generous inducements of lands, wealth, covenants, and other things, in exchange for handing over his brother Fakhr al-Dawlah. Qābūs refused that and did not agree to it. So ʿAḍud al-Dawlah equipped his brother Muʾayyid al-Dawlah and dispatched him with armies, wealth, and equipment to Jurjān. The news reached Qābūs, so he marched to meet him. He encountered him in the outskirts of Astarābādh, and they fought from morning until noon. Qābūs and his companions were defeated in Jumādā al-Ūlā. Qābūs went to one of his fortresses, which contained his treasures and wealth, took what he wanted, and set out toward Naysābūr. When he arrived there, Fakhr al-Dawlah joined him, and those of their companions who had dispersed gathered with them. Their arrival there occurred during the governorship of Ḥusām al-Dawlah Abū al-ʿAbbās Tāsh over Khurāsān. Ḥusām al-Dawlah wrote to the Amir Abū al-Qāsim Nūḥ b. Manṣūr informing him of their arrival. They also wrote to Nūḥ informing him of their situation and seeking his support against Muʾayyid al-Dawlah. Nūḥ's letters arrived to Ḥusām al-Dawlah commanding him to honor their standing, treat them with respect, assemble the armies, march with them, and restore them to their kingdoms. His vizier Abū al-Ḥusayn also wrote to that effect.
