Abu Abdallah al-Shi'i's entry into Raqqada and the collapse of the Aghlabid state

In Rajab 296 AH Abu Abd Allah al-Shi'i defeated the army of Ibrahim ibn Abi al-Aghlab. Ziyadat Allah fled to Egypt, and al-Shi'i entered Raqqada. With this, the rule of the Aghlabids came to an end. ²

He stayed in its palaces and distributed its houses among the Kutama. He proclaimed safety, and gathered the wealth and weapons of Ziyadat Allah and ordered them guarded. ²

He had besieged Constantine and taken it on terms of safe conduct. He took the country palace by palace: Bulzima by force, then Tabna on terms of safe conduct, then Baghaya, Marmajanna, Tifash and al-Qasrayn. ²

The date of the event in the Gregorian calendar is converted. ³
