Overview
Abu al-Mana' Qirwash ibn al-Muqallad, emir of Banu Uqayl. The caliph al-Qadir invested him in 396 AH and gave him the title Mu'tamid al-Dawla, after which he held the emirate alone. 1
He held the lands of Mosul, Kufa and the bank of the Euphrates, and he forced Ali ibn Mazyad to give up what he held of Kuthaya and Nahr al-Malik. 1
The ruler of Egypt and the Ghuzz
The ruler of Egypt corresponded with him and courted him, and he had the khutba read for him in Mosul and Kufa. He later apologised to al-Qadir and asked for pardon. The Ghuzz entered Mosul and plundered from his house more than a hundred thousand dinars 1.
He died in 444 AH, and Quraysh ibn Badran took over the affair after him 1.
