أحمد بن أبي دؤاد

أحمد بن أبي دؤاد

Al-Mu'tasim's judge; he reported the caliph would bare his forearm — 'Bite it with all your strength; it does not hurt me' — and spears, let alone teeth, made no mark {cite:tarikh-khulafa-minhaj-1434 p. 521}.

al-Wathiq

Harun al-Wathiq bi'llah ibn al-Mu'tasim, ninth Abbasid caliph; in al-Baladhuri: certain officials had laid head-jizya on the Jarajima at Antioch — they being a service-treaty people, not jizya-payers — and they appealed it to him as caliph, whereupon he ordered it remitted; al-Mutawakkil afterwards ordered it taken of them while paying them stipends.
