Summary
The caliph al-Mustadi bi-Amr Allah died on the second of Dhu al-Qaʿda. His caliphate had lasted about nine years and seven months. He was just, of good conduct, generous and forbearing; according to Ibn al-Athir he lived a praiseworthy life and died a fortunate death. Zahir al-Din ibn al-Attar then took the oath of allegiance for his son al-Nasir li-Din Allah, and the longest Abbasid caliphate was thereby begun 2.
