Al-Uqud al-DurriyyaIbn Abd al-Hadi

The second is that when the Rafidites captured Jabal al-Ṣāliḥiyya (1) — during the domination of the tyrant Ghazan — one of their leading men (2) proposed that the mountain be plundered, its people enslaved and killed, and their houses burned (3) in revenge for their being Sunnis. He even branded them “Nasibis.” (4) What befell Jabal al-Ṣāliḥiyya (5) as a result of that statement and that incitement is well known.

They add: the Rafidites were paid back in kind, at the suggestion of a senior Sunni notable, measure for measure, the retribution carried out by the ruler and the armies of Islam. The adviser just mentioned is (6) the very shaykh already referred to.

When the mountain was taken and the army, after the victory, marched on to protected Damascus, people of every rank—high and low—flocked to the shaykh, visiting him, greeting him (7), congratulating him on his safety, and asking him how the mountain had been besieged, how its inhabitants had been fought, and what correspondence and other dealings had taken place between them and the army.

The shaykh narrated all of this.

(1) The word "ahl" (people) is absent from F and K. (2) The word "alayhi" (upon him) is not found in Q, F, or K. (3) Q, F, and K read "wa-hariq" (and conflagrations). (4) Q has the phrase "intiqaman li-kawnim … wa-sammahum nawāsib" (as retaliation for their being … and he labeled them Nasbis), whereas K reads "intiqaman li-kawnim sunniyyah …" (as retaliation because they were Sunnis …). (5) The base text reads "kana" (he was), while B has "wa-kana" (and he was). (6) F and K read "wa-huwa" (and he). (7) B and Q read "wa-ʿammatuhum …" (and their commoners …), whereas the other manuscripts read "wa at-taslim ʿalayhi" (and sending salutations upon him).
والثاني: لأنّ أهل (١) جبل الصالحية لمّا استولت الرافضةُ عليه (٢) ــ في حال استيلاء الطاغية غازان ــ أشار بعض كُبرائهم بنهب الجبل، وسَبْي أهله وقَتْلهم وحَرْق (٣) مساكنهم، انتقامًا منهم لكونهم سُنّة، وسمّاهم ذلك المُشير: نواصب (٤). فكان (٥) ما كان من أمر جبل الصالحية بذلك القول، وتلك الإشارة. قالوا: فكوفئ الرافضةُ بمثل ذلك، بإشارةِ كبير من كبراء أهل السنة، وزنًا بوزنٍ، جزاءً على يد وليِّ الأمر وجيوش الإسلام، والمشير المذكور هو (٦) الشيخُ المشارُ إليه. ولمّا فُتِحَ الجبلُ، وصار الجيشُ بعد الفتح إلى دمشق المحروسة، عكف خاصُّ الناس وعامُّهم على الشيخ بالزيارة له، والتسليم له (٧)، والتهنئة بسلامته، والمسألة له منهم عن كيفية الحِصار للجبل، وصورة قتالِ أهله، وعمّا وقع بينهم وبين الجيش من المراسلات وغيرها؟ فحكى الشيخ ذلك.
(١) «أهل» ليست في (ف، ك). (٢) «عليه» ليست في (ق، ف، ك). (٣) (ق، ف، ك): «وحريق». (٤) (ق): «انتقامًا لكونهم ... وسماهم نواصب»، (ك): «انتقامًا لكونهم سنية ... ». (٥) الأصل: «كان»، و (ب): «وكان». (٦) (ف، ك): «وهو». (٧) (ب، ق): «وعامتهم ... »، وفي بقية النسخ: «والتسليم عليه».
