Overview

In 312 AH the vizier Ali ibn Muhammad ibn al-Furat was arrested, and his son was sought. al-Tabari relates that the commanders of the troops incited the pages (ghilman) to demand their killing, and al-Muqtadir ordered them both killed; their heads were thrown into the Tigris. 1 2

Ibn al-Athir's account

According to Ibn al-Athir, al-Muhsin, the vizier's son, was hiding with his paternal aunt disguised as a woman, until a woman pointed him out. al-Muqtadir ordered Nazuk, the chief of police, to bring him. The account says that he was tortured to make him agree to the confiscation of his property, but he refused. Nazuk then killed them both, and the son was killed on Monday, the thirteenth of Rabi' al-Akhir. Ibn al-Furat was seventy-one years old, and his son was thirty-three. 3

Note

The detail needs an additional source, since the two accounts come from two historians.
