Then the year 376 AH began
ذِكْرُ وِلَايَةِ مُهَذَّبِ الدَّوْلَةِ الْبَطِيحَةَ فِي هَذِهِ السَّنَةِ تُوُفِّيَ الْمُظَفَّرُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ، وَوَلِيَ بَعْدَهُ ابْنُ أُخْتِهِ أَبُو الْحَسَنِ عَلِيُّ بْنُ نَصْرٍ بِالْعَهْدِ الْمَذْكُورِ، وَكَتَبَ إِلَى شَرَفِ الدَّوْلَةِ يَبْذُلُ لَهُ الطَّاعَةَ، وَيَطْلُبُ التَّقْلِيدَ، فَأُجِيبَ إِلَى ذَلِكَ، وَلُقِّبَ بِمُهَذَّبِ الدَّوْلَةِ، فَأَحْسَنَ السِّيرَةَ، وَبَذَلَ الْخَيْرَ وَالْإِحْسَانَ، فَقَصَدَهُ النَّاسُ، وَأَمِنَ عِنْدَهُ الْخَائِفُ. وَصَارَتِ الْبَطِيحَةُ مَعْقِلًا لِكُلِّ مَنْ قَصْدَهَا، وَاتَّخَذَهَا الْأَكَابِرُ وَطَنًا، وَبَنَوْا فِيهَا الدُّورَ الْحَسَنَةَ، وَوَسِعَهُمْ بِرُّهُ وَإِحْسَانُهُ، وَكَاتَبَ مُلُوكَ الْأَطْرَافِ وَكَاتَبُوهُ، وَزَوَّجَهُ بَهَاءُ الدَّوْلَةِ ابْنَتَهُ، وَعَظُمَ شَأْنُهُ إِلَى أَنْ قَصَدَهُ الْقَادِرُ بِاللَّهِ فَحَمَاهُ، وَبَقِيَ عِنْدَهُ إِلَى أَنْ أَتَتْهُ الْخِلَافَةُ، عَلَى مَا نَذْكُرُهُ إِنْ شَاءَ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى.
Translation
✧ Mention of the Governorship of Muhadhdhab al-Dawlah over al-Baṭīḥah In this year al-Muẓaffar b. ʿAlī died, and after him his sister's son Abū al-Ḥasan ʿAlī b. Naṣr succeeded by the aforementioned covenant. He wrote to Sharaf al-Dawlah offering him obedience and requesting investiture. He was granted that and was given the title Muhadhdhab al-Dawlah. He governed well, dispensed goodness and beneficence, so people sought him out, and the fearful found safety with him. Al-Baṭīḥah became a stronghold for everyone who sought it, and the notables adopted it as a homeland, building fine houses there, and his kindness and beneficence encompassed them. He corresponded with the kings of the border regions, and they corresponded with him. Bahāʾ al-Dawlah gave him his daughter in marriage, and his importance grew until al-Qādir bi-llāh sought him out, and he protected him, and he remained with him until the caliphate came to him, as we shall mention, God Almighty willing.
