ذِكْرُ قَتْلِ أَبِي الْفَرَجِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عِمْرَانَ وَمُلْكِ أَبِي الْمَعَالِي ابْنِ أَخِيهِ الْحَسَنِ فِي هَذِهِ السَّنَةِ قُتِلَ أَبُو الْفَرَجِ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عِمْرَانَ بْنِ شَاهِينَ صَاحِبُ الْبَطِيحَةِ، وَوَلِيَ، أَبُو الْمَعَالِي ابْنُ أَخِيهِ الْحَسَنِ. وَسَبَبُ قَتْلِهِ أَنَّ أَبَا الْفَرَجِ قَدَّمَ الْجَمَاعَةَ الَّذِينَ سَاعَدُوهُ عَلَى قَتْلِ أَخِيهِ، وَوَضَعَ مِنْ حَالِ مُقَدَّمِي الْقُوَّادِ، فَجَمَعَهُمُ الْمُظَفَّرُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ الْحَاجِبُ، وَهُوَ أَكْبَرُ قُوَّادِ أَبِيهِ عِمْرَانَ وَأَخِيهِ الْحَسَنِ، وَحَذَّرَهُمْ عَاقِبَةَ أَمْرِهِمْ، فَاجْتَمَعُوا عَلَى قَتْلِ أَبِي الْفَرَجِ، فَقَتَلَهُ الْمُظَفَّرُ وَأَجْلَسَ أَبَا الْمَعَالِي مَكَانَهُ، وَتَوَلَّى تَدْبِيرَهُ بِنَفْسِهِ، وَقَتَلَ كُلَّ مَنْ كَانَ يَخَافُهُ مِنَ الْقُوَّادِ، وَلَمْ يَتْرُكْ مَعَهُ إِلَّا مَنْ يَثِقُ بِهِ، وَكَانَ أَبُو الْمَعَالِي صَغِيرًا.
Translation
✧ Mention of the killing of Abu al-Faraj Muhammad b. ʿImran and the taking of power by Abu al-Maʿali, son of his brother al-Hasan In this year, Abu al-Faraj Muhammad b. ʿImran b. Shahin, lord of al-Batiha, was killed, and Abu al-Maʿali, son of his brother al-Hasan, took over. The reason for his killing was that Abu al-Faraj advanced the group who had helped him kill his brother, and he lowered the standing of the leading commanders. So al-Muzaffar b. ʿAli the chamberlain, who was the greatest of the commanders of his father ʿImran and his brother al-Hasan, gathered them and warned them of the consequence of their affair. They agreed to kill Abu al-Faraj, so al-Muzaffar killed him and seated Abu al-Maʿali in his place, and he took charge of his affairs himself. He killed every commander he feared and left with him only those he trusted, and Abu al-Maʿali was young.
