Overview
In 251 AH Ibn Tahir resolved to depose al-Musta'in and to pledge allegiance to al-Mu'tazz, and the common people went out to support al-Musta'in. 1 Then in Dhu al-Hijja al-Musta'in moved to the house of the servant Rizq in al-Rusafa. 2
al-Suyuti reports that the Turks sent to him apologising and asking him to return, but he refused. They then brought out al-Mu'tazz, pledged allegiance to him, and deposed al-Musta'in. 3
