  "en": "Alp Arslan's vizier; he ended his predecessor Amid al-Mulk's Ash'ari-cursing, championed the Shafi'is, honoured Imam al-Haramayn and al-Qushayri, and built the Nizamiyya — 'said to be the first school built for the jurists' {cite:tarikh-khulafa-minhaj-1434 p. 645}. In 485 a youth in sufi guise handed him a petition and knifed him on the eve of 10 Ramadan — it was said Malikshah had suborned it; for twenty years he had run the whole realm, leaving the sultan 'only the throne and the hunt', and al-Muqtadi had him sit before him saying 'God is pleased with you as the Commander of the Faithful is pleased with you' {cite:shadharat-dhahab p. 381-382}."
