Al-Mustaḍīʾ died on 2 Dhū'l-Qaʿda — nine years and seven months of a caliphate remembered for general security, generosity, and a clemency the people had never seen; «he lived praised and died happy». Ẓahīr al-Dīn Ibn al-ʿAṭṭār secured the bayʿa for his son al-Nāṣir li-Dīn Allāh — opening the longest caliphate in Abbasid history.
