The battle of Wadi Qarmasin, 377 AH; when Musharrif al-Dawla ibn Rukn al-Dawla settled in Baghdad his commander Qaratikin al-Juhshari grew overweening in the state, so he dispatched the army against Badr ibn Hasanwayh the Kurd hoping to be rid of one of them — Badr fled until they slackened in their tents, then wheeled back, cut them off from their mounts and slaughtered them, taking their baggage; Qaratikin escaped in flight to the Nahrawan bridge while Badr seized the Jibal's districts and his power swelled.
