عماد الدولة علي بن بويه

عماد الدولة علي بن بويه

Son of the poor fisherman Buya — who dreamed fire issued from him filling the world, read as his sons ruling it. Mardawij's captain, sent to extract Karkh's money, he broke away in 322, beat the caliph's deputy and took Fars; he bargained with al-Radi — a yearly eight hundred million dirhams for what he held — received a banner and robes, then stalled on payment 1; he died at Shiraz in Jumada II 338 of a kidney ulcer 2.

Amir al-Umara — the over-commandership

The office that swallowed the vizierate: according to Miskawayh, first conferred on Harun ibn Gharib in 316 under al-Muqtadir; when al-Radi handed all affairs to Muhammad ibn Ra'iq the amir al-umara appointed and dismissed governors, farmed kharaj and estates, had khutba and kunya and banner — the caliph holding nothing of rule — the title passing to Bajkam then to Ahmad ibn Buya, Mu'izz al-Dawla, who ran Baghdad for the Buyids nearly a century.
