ذِكْرُ قَتْلِ الْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ عِمْرَانَ بْنِ شَاهِينَ فِي هَذِهِ السَّنَةِ قُتِلَ الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ عِمْرَانَ بْنِ شَاهِينَ، صَاحِبُ الْبَطِيحَةِ، قَتَلَهُ أَخُوهُ أَبُو الْفَرَجِ وَاسْتَوْلَى عَلَى الْبَطِيحَةِ. وَكَانَ سَبَبُ قَتْلِهِ أَنَّهُ حَسَدَهُ عَلَى وِلَايَتِهِ وَمَحَبَّةِ النَّاسِ لَهُ، فَاتُّفِقَ أَنَّ أُخْتًا لَهُمَا مَرِضَتْ، فَقَالَ أَبُو الْفَرَجِ لِأَخِيهِ الْحُسَيْنِ: إِنَّ أُخْتَنَا مُشْفِيَةً، فَلَوْ عُدْتَهَا فَفَعَلَ وَسَارَ إِلَيْهَا، وَرَتَّبَ أَبُو الْفَرَجِ فِي الدَّارِ نَفَرًا يُسَاعِدُونَهُ عَلَى قَتْلِهِ، فَلَمَّا دَخَلَ الْحُسَيْنُ الدَّارَ تَخَلَّفَ عَنْهُ أَصْحَابُهُ، وَدَخَلَ أَبُو الْفَرَجِ مَعَهُ وَبِيَدِهِ سَيْفُهُ، فَلَمَّا خَلَا بِهِ قَتَلَهُ، وَوَقَعَتِ الصَّيْحَةُ، فَصَعِدَ إِلَى السَّطْحِ وَأَعْلَمَ الْعَسْكَرَ بِقَتْلِهِ، وَوَعَدَهُمُ الْإِحْسَانَ فَسَكَتُوا، وَبَذَلَ لَهُمُ الْمَالَ، فَأَقَرُّوهُ فِي الْأَمْرِ، وَكَتَبَ إِلَى بَغْدَاذَ يُظْهِرُ الطَّاعَةَ، وَيَطْلُبُ تَقْلِيدَهُ الْوِلَايَةَ، وَكَانَ مُتَهَوِّرًا جَاهِلًا.
Translation
✧ Mention of the killing of al-Ḥusayn b. ʿImrān b. Shāhīn In this year, al-Ḥusayn b. ʿImrān b. Shāhīn, the lord of al-Baṭīḥah, was killed. His brother Abū al-Faraj killed him and took control of al-Baṭīḥah. The reason for his killing was that he envied him for his authority and the people's love for him. It happened that a sister of theirs fell ill, so Abū al-Faraj said to his brother al-Ḥusayn: "Our sister is near death, so if you would visit her." He did so and went to her. Abū al-Faraj had stationed in the house a group of men to help him kill him. When al-Ḥusayn entered the house, his companions stayed behind him, and Abū al-Faraj entered with him, with his sword in his hand. When he was alone with him, he killed him. The outcry arose, so he went up to the roof and informed the army of his killing, promising them kindness, so they fell silent. He gave them money, and they confirmed him in the matter. He wrote to Baghdādh, showing obedience and requesting that he be granted the governorship. He was reckless and ignorant.
