the Imam Ibrahim

Ibrahim ibn Muhammad ibn Ali ibn Abdallah ibn al-Abbas, known as Ibrahim al-Imam, the imam of the Abbasid call. Al-Mas'udi in Muruj al-Dhahab relates how he was captured and killed. ²

Al-Mas'udi says that Marwan tricked the messenger of Ibrahim to Abu Muslim, and sent him to him so that his reply could be questioned. When the reply came in Ibrahim's hand, Marwan wrote to his governor to seize him. He was taken from the village of al-Karar and al-Hamima while he sat in its mosque, and was imprisoned in Harran for two months. ²

Al-Mas'udi relates that Ibrahim spoke harshly in the exchange and denied the charge, so Marwan brought out the messenger, and he knew that he had been betrayed in his place of safety. Marwan's freedmen then fell upon him, put his head in a bag with crushed depilatory lime, and he died. Al-Abbas ibn al-Walid and Abdallah ibn Umar ibn Abd al-Aziz were killed with him beneath the cushions. ²

The year of the killing is not stated in the data. It needs an additional source.
