قتل الراشد المخلوع بأصبهان

c. 1138 CE · 16 Ramadan 532 AH

The deposed al-Rashid raided through Azerbaijan, Maragha, Hamadan and Isfahan till, gravely ill outside Isfahan, his own Persian farrashin killed him with knives — they were all killed in turn — on 16 Ramadan 532. The cloak and staff were not taken from him till after his death; al-Imad al-Katib: his was Joseph's beauty and Hatim's bounty ¹.

موجز

بعد خلعه خرج الراشد إلى بلاد أذربيجان، فأفسد في مراغة وهمدان وأصبهان. ثم مرض مرضاً شديداً خارج أصبهان. ¹

مقتله

دخل عليه جماعة من العجم كانوا فرّاشين معه فقتلوه بالسكاكين، في 16 رمضان سنة 532هـ، ثم قُتلوا كلهم. ولم تُؤخذ منه البردة والقضيب حتى قُتل، فأُحضرا بعد ذلك إلى المقتفي. ¹

يقول العماد الكاتب فيه، كما ينقل السيوطي: «كان للراشد الحسن اليوسفي والكرم الحاتمي». ¹

خلع الراشد بالله بالمحضر الفقهي

On sultan Mas'ud's return, al-Rashid went out to Mosul; the judges, notables and scholars wrote an instrument of testimony — injustice, seizure of wealth, bloodshed, wine — and asked the jurists whether such a one's imamate holds and whether the sultan of the day may depose him. They fatwa'd the deposition lawful; Ibn al-Karkhi, judge of the city, ruled it, and his uncle Muhammad ibn al-Mustazhir was hailed al-Muqtafi on 16 Dhu'l-Qa'da 530. Ibn al-Jawzi cites al-Suli: people say every sixth caliph is deposed.
