Summary
The great vizier Abu'l-Qasim 'Ali b. Tirad al-Zaynabi; vizier to al-Mustarshid and al-Muqtafi, who heard hadith from his uncle Abu Nasr al-Zaynabi and Abu'l-Qasim Ibn al-Basri — a majestic, noble front of complete eminence, profound, keen of sight, possessed of judgement, cunning and daring. 1
The investiture and the fall
He bore the burdens of al-Muqtafi's bay'a and the deposition of al-Rashid in a single day, at which people marvelled; when al-Muqtafi turned on him and resolved to seize him, he took refuge in Sultan Mas'ud's palace, then escaped, kept to his house and devoted himself to worship and good works until he died in Ramadan 538. 1
