The incident

Al-Mas'udi relates that he went out to Ibn Allan al-Qazwini with an open copy of the Qur'an in his hand, and said: "Fear God, and lift the sword from these Muslims, for they have committed no sin." Ibn Allan ordered that the copy be taken from his hand and struck across his face with it, and then ordered him slaughtered. 2

The date of the incident, his full name and the year of his death need an additional source.
