Wasif al-Turki was killed in Shawwal 253 AH, after groups of soldiers caused unrest demanding their stipends. Al-Mu'tazz then placed the affairs that had been in Wasif's hands under Bugha al-Sharabi. 1
Al-Mas'udi's account
Al-Mas'udi says that the Pharaonic and Turkish people of the Karkh quarter of Samarra attacked him, and Bugha escaped from them. Al-Mu'tazz set Salih ibn Wasif in his father's place. 2
