Overview
Faris ibn Bugha, son of Bugha al-Saghir. Al-Mas'udi reports that his father accused him of plotting his killing, and made it the first test of Bagir the Turk for killing. The expected sign did not appear, and Faris went away alive. The report is in the setting that leads up to the killing of al-Mutawakkil. 2
