استخلاف الواثق أشناس التركي على السلطنة

c. 843 CE · 228 AH

In year 228 al-Wathiq installed Ashinas al-Turki over the sultanate, clothing him in two jewelled sashes and a jewelled crown; al-Suyuti thinks him the first caliph to appoint a sultan — for the Turks had only multiplied in his father's days {cite:tarikh-khulafa-minhaj-1434 p. 529}.

وفاة الواثق

Al-Wathiq died at Sur man Ra'a on Wednesday, 6 Dhu'l-Hijja 232; when he died he was left alone while the people busied themselves with the bay'a to al-Mutawakkil, and a rat came and plucked out his eye and ate it {cite:tarikh-khulafa-minhaj-1434 p. 534}.
