Overview

Al-Suyuti reports that the Friday sermon and the summons were proclaimed in the two sanctuaries for al-Mu'izz the Fatimid in Dhu al-Hijja of 363 AH. ²

An additional source is needed: the account rests on a single source, and the Gregorian conversion is derived.

وفاة المعز لدين الله وولاية العزيز

In Rabi II 365 al-Mu'izz li-Din Allah died in Egypt aged about forty-five. Ibn al-Athir tells the famous cause: a Byzantine envoy recalled al-Mu'izz's prophecy that he would die ruling Egypt and be caliph in Baghdad, then said the majesty he had seen at Mahdiyya had now faded — grief took him, fever followed, and he died. His son Nizar concealed the death till the feast, led prayer as al-Aziz and mourned him publicly.
