المتقي لله إبراهيم بن المقتدر
Abbasid caliph [329–333], Abu Ishaq Ibrahim ibn al-Muqtadir, hailed at thirty-four; he altered nothing, never touched a slave-girl or wine, fasted much — 'I want no companion but the Mushaf'. Tuzun blinded him in 333; jailed opposite al-Sindiyya twenty-five years, he died in Sha'ban 357.

غلاء بغداد الكبير سنة ٣٣٠

أمطار بغداد وخراب الدور وكبسات اللصوص
In Jumada I 332 heavy rains brought houses down on their people; property values collapsed with the famine until cheap bread and dates returned — hammams, markets and mosques stood closed, men were paid to occupy houses just to guard them, and armed night-raiders forced the people to keep watch.

کلینی کی بغداد میں وفات، شعبان 329ھ/مئی 941ء
کلینی بغداد میں 328/939-40 یا 329/940-41ء میں فوت ہوا؛ دائرۃ المعارفِ اسلام دوسری تاریخ کو رجحان دیتی ہے کیونکہ طوسی نے — اپنی پہلی فہرست میں 328 دینے کے بعد — بعد کی رجال میں شعبان 329/مئی 941 مقرر کی۔ نمازِ جنازہ امامی حسنی ابو قیراط محمد بن جعفر نے پڑھائی اور وہ بابِ کوفہ کے قریب دفن ہوا ۔ تاریخِ اسلام اسے 329 کی تراجم میں لاتا ہے: «وہ بغداد میں تھا اور وہیں فوت ہوا، اور اس کا قبر ظاہر ہے جس پر لوح ہے»، اور احمد بن ابراہیم صیمری اس سے روایت کرتا ہے ۔

فدية منديل الرها
In 331 the Byzantines reached Arzan, Mayyafariqin and Nisibis, killing and taking captives, then asked for a kerchief kept in an Edessa church — said to bear the image the Messiah imprinted when he wiped his face — in exchange for releasing all their captives; it was sent and the prisoners freed.

فيضان الفرات وخراب باب الأنبار
In 329 the Euphrates rose eleven cubits and burst from the Anbar side, sweeping villages, people, cattle and beasts; water poured down the Sarat into Baghdad's western quarters drowning Bab al-Anbar street to the last house, toppling the Sarat's iron bridge — while the Tigris rose eighteen cubits in May–June.

سقوط القبة الخضراء
In al-Muttaqi's days the Green Dome of al-Mansur's city fell — Baghdad's crown and the Abbasids' monument, eighty cubits high over a twenty-by-twenty-cubit iwan, topped by a mounted lancer whose facing direction foretold a rebel's rise. Its head fell on a night of rain and thunder.

سمل المتقي على يد توزون
Al-Muttaqi summoned Ibn Hamdan, lost with him at Ukbara, fled to Mosul and Nisibis, then distrusted the Hamdanids and wrote Tuzun for peace — he swore mighty oaths. The Ikhshid of Egypt came to Raqqa: 'beware their treachery — come with me to Egypt, it is yours' — he refused. On 4 Muharram 333 Tuzun met him, kissed the ground and walked before him, then seized him, blinded him, took the seal, the Burda and the staff, and hailed Abd Allah ibn al-Muktafi as al-Mustakfi — whom the blinded Muttaqi himself acclaimed. Muttaqi was jailed opposite al-Sindiyya twenty-five years till his death in 357. When the blinded al-Qahir heard, he said 'we are two now — we need a third': and so it was, al-Mustakfi was blinded too.

روس کا شہر بردعہ پر قبضہ
In 332 a Rus fleet came up the Kur river to Barda'a, routed the garrison, proclaimed security, then trapped the townsmen who stayed past the three-day deadline — some fifteen thousand captives, the survivors penned in the mosque and slaughtered when a twenty-dirham ransom failed. Fruit-gluttony brought them plague, and Marzuban's ambush destroyed their prince and penned the rest in the citadel.
