Overview
In 258 AH Mufallih was killed in the Zanj war. Al-Tabari says that people could not find anyone who claimed to have shot the arrow, so the leader of the Zanj claimed that he was the archer. 1
According to al-Mas'udi
Al-Mas'udi says that the caliph al-Mu'tamid sent Mufallih with Abu Ahmad al-Muwaffaq to Basra to fight the leader of the Zanj. An arrow struck him in the temple and he died; he was carried to Samarra and buried there. 2
