And with this chain: Abū Naṣr al-Tammār narrated to us; ʿAbd al-ʿAzīz ibn Muslim narrated to us, from al-Aʿmash, from Saʿīd ibn Jubayr, from Ibn ʿAbbās, who said:
The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, “Seek independence from people, even if it is with nothing more than the frayed tip of a tooth-stick.” (1)

Al-Baghawī compiled two fascicles of the material he had received from Abū Naṣr al-Tammār.

200 – Abū al-Mughīth al-Rāfiqī, Mūsā ibn Sābiq—
or ʿĪsā ibn Sābiq—was the deputy governor of Damascus for al-Muʿtaṣim and al-Wāthiq.
The tribe of Qays rebelled against him because he had crucified fifteen of their men. They rose up, seized the government’s horses, and encamped at al-Marj; the two forces met, many soldiers were killed, and a commander was taken captive.
Their uprising then grew stronger; they advanced against Damascus while Abū al-Mughīth was inside it, the siege became intense, and al-Muʿtaṣim died with the situation still unresolved. (2)
