Overview
Al-Hasan b. Muhammad b. Isma'il, Abu 'Ali al-Iskafi, surnamed al-Muwaffaq; advanced at the court of Baha' al-Dawla b. Nasir, he governed Baghdad — seizing the Jews and taking dinars from them — then fled to the Batihah marsh where he dwelt two years, came out and became Baha' al-Dawla's vizier; lion-hearted in wars and victorious — he took the land of Fars from those who held it. 1
His end
His star rose so high that someone said to Baha' al-Dawla: "May God adorn you, our lord, in the eye of al-Muwaffaq" — he was punished at length, then killed in 394 at forty-nine. 1
